Chris Klieman to leave as HC at NDSU to become HC at Kansas State When it was announced that the outgoing NDSU coach would continue to coach the Bison through the FCS championship game while starting his work with the Wildcats, I wondered how it would effect recruiting. Seems to me there is some kind of conflict of interest, particularly when it comes to recruiting when he is involved with two programs, and even moreso during a signing period. I can't find the name now, but I recall reading that a player who was leaning toward NDSU signed with KSU yesterday.
