The Dakota/Montana schools gonna start their own conference of HWCU schools. The "Cracker Valley Football Conference"
The Historically White schools are mostly in the SEC.
I don't understand the interest in being in the same conference as the Montana schools.

They both have fantastic fanbases and are some of the few FCS schools with a pulse, and they’re nearby and we already have established a sort of rivalry with both of them.
Seriously, what is there not to understand?

They're LITERALLY the only other schools in the FCS outside of the Dakotas to actually desire to win, have more than 4 fans, and have any sort of history with NDSU.

Because Bozeman and Missoula are both awesome places to visit with great venues to watch a game. Their fan bases are passionate and very similar to ours. Give me Montana/Montana St over any of the MAC schools.

Exactly! We should already be playing these schools very frequently in our non con games!

Lots. They aren't anywhere nearby, they've combined had 3 good years in 15. I would love to never play either of those JV schools ever again.

I don't want to be in a conference with any FCS schools, and that includes the Montanas.
