Senators Hoeven and Cramer push to send NDSU football team to White House after championship
Jan 09, 2025
FARGO, ND (KXNET) — The North Dakota State University (NDSU) Bison just claimed their 10th NCAA Division I FCS national championship Monday against Montana State, and our senators are pushing for them to visit the White House.
It's a long-standing tradition for championship teams across our country to visit the White House. But when we think of leagues that do this, college football is not one of the first that comes to mind.
Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer introduced a resolution congratulating NDSU on its victory, and recognizing its long record of excellence (10 championships in the last 14 years). Hoeven and Cramer also spoke with President-elect Donald Trump to coordinate a White House visit for the Bison in honor of their championship.

“You can’t help but use the word dynasty,” said Senator Cramer. “The two quarterbacks in this game, Tommy Mellott from Montana State and Cam Miller from NDSU, played each other in this same game when they were freshmen. They both started with their respective teams when they were freshmen, and NDSU prevailed in that game as well. What a program and what a great group of guys that created.”
“NDSU has a truly impressive team and a tremendous program, and we think it is fitting that they visit the White House once again in recognition of continuing excellence on the field. To this end, I spoke with President Trump and NDSU President Cook,” said Senator Hoeven. “We honor the whole team, and especially Head Coach Tim Polasek, who made his return to Bison football and, in his first year as head coach, demonstrated his commitment to continuing the legacy of championship football at North Dakota State University…We also cannot forget to honor the dedication of Bison Nation, who show up game after game and support the team, coaches, and staff. North Dakota is truly proud of the many accomplishments of the NDSU Bison.”
