I'd like see a transcript or something of the broadcast with that quote.
Minnesota's President Mark Yudof has been nothing but supportive for
Mankato.  And Mark Dienhart has been very helpful in helping Mankato set
up there program with information and consultation.  Seems like an
unqualified statement.   Mankato State does compete with the U in
academics but so does st cloud state, und, umd, wisconsin and even
Bemidji State.
 
Broad unqualified statement back at ya - Wisconsin probably has as many
Minnesota kids attending as does Mankato.
