Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Minot State Beavers football
Minot State University is a small school with 2,200 undergraduate students and 170 academic staff persons.  The Minot State football program jumped from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics|NAIA (very low level for small colleges) to NCAA Division II (a significant promotion, but still lower level) in 2011.  While I doubt that season articles would be warranted, the program as a whole has arguably received significant coverage in multiple independent sources sufficient to satisfy .  In addition to items cited by the Catalyst, further examples of the coverage include the following: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/8999484/rudolph_builds_a_winner_at_minot_state/ this, http://bismarcktribune.com/sports/running-game-defense-power-minot-state/article_e8c00161-77f5-5912-af82-f412af068f2c.html this, http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/sports/college/3830037-minot-state-football-players-suspected-assault-university-baseball-player this, http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4147492-minot-native-josh-duhamel-inducted-minot-state-university-hall-fame this, and http://archive.kitsapsun.com/sports/south-kitsap-trio-making-it-work-at-minot-st-ep-740242132-355164031.html this
