Coach Prime gives early impressions of North Dakota State Bison

After not facing any Football Championship Subdivision teams last year, Colorado’s 2024 season opener will come against one of the best lower-Division I programs in the country, the North Dakota State Bison.

North Dakota State has upset multiple Football Bowl Subdivision teams in recent years and has won nine FCS national titles since 2011. While NDSU is entering a new era under first-year head coach Tim Polasek, the Bison remain a formidable challenge for the Buffs to deal with on Aug. 29.

When asked about North Dakota State at Big 12 football media days this past week, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders shared nothing but respect for the Buffs’ Week 1 opponent.

Here’s what Coach Prime had to say about the Bison:

“They’re really darned good,” Sanders said. “I’m mad at (CU athletic director) Rick (George) for putting them on the schedule, to open up with them. Can you give me a layup or something? Those guys are wonderful. Their staff has always been amongst the best. Many people have matriculated from that staff to go to higher levels. Those kids play their butts off. They play tough. They don’t make many mistakes. They’re accustomed to winning. They don’t gave a darned about being at home or on the road. That doesn’t faze them whatsoever.
“We can’t wait to see them. It’s going to be a phenomenal game, (a) phenomenal matchup. That program is second to none.”

This spring, Polasek also shared his early thoughts on North Dakota State’s season opener against the Buffs.

Cass County Deputy being investigated by the ND BCI resigns

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – A Cass County Sheriff’s Deputy who is under investigation by the the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has resigned from the department.

Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner says he was contacted by the BCI in September saying they were initiating an investigation into Deputy Carson Quam for alleged criminal activity. Jahner says the Sheriff’s Office was unaware of any criminal activity Quam was potentially involved with.

On November 21, the Sheriff’s office announced that Quam is no longer an employee of the Cass County Sheriff’s Office.

Jahner says the information was not released in September because it was an active and ongoing investigation from another agency.

“Any time criminal allegations are made against one of my employees, my Office will always collaborate with the investigating and prosecuting agencies to assist throughout the investigation and potential prosecution, working to ensure the integrity of the case. If criminal activity is substantiated, it will not be tolerated. My Office will always strive through rigorous background checks, department training, and accountability to put the best deputies in our communities to protect and serve our citizens,” said Sheriff Jahner.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says it is unable to comment further pending investigation and review by the Grand Forks and Cass County States Attorney’s Offices. Valley News Live will continue to follow this situation as it develops.
