One thing that often goes unnoticed in collegiate athletics is the relationships forged off of the court. Season after season, student-athletes from across the country converge on Fargo looking for athletic and academic success. However, these student-athletes are also creating friendships and relationships that go beyond the field of competition. Regardless of background or hometown, there is a connective tissue between all of these student-athletes. That tissue is being a Bison at North Dakota State and lifelong bonds are being built because of it. The best way to illustrate that? Meaningful conversation between teammates and friends.
