Kolpack: Here is your two-minute warning on the next NDSU president
They are names with resumes on paper, that much we know. Or, in this day and age, resumes on a computer screen or a smartphone.
They are five names left in the running to be the next president at North Dakota State, a job that entails multitasking on a daily basis at its best. Yes, folks, that includes athletics.

When Thomas Plough was hired as the NDSU president in 1995, he came from Rochester Institute of Technology (N.Y.) and before that, Eisenhower College (N.Y.) and Alma College (Mich.). None of those schools had a football team. Eisenhower closed, although some of it was acquired by RIT.
