The Vikings go on the road to play the Bison, an NCAA Division I team, on Dec. 2. The game will be an exhibition contest for VCSU. It's part of a very tough early-season schedule for the Vikings. Three of the first five games include match-ups with NAIA schools that finished last season rated in the Top 10, including defending national champion Cardinal Stritch University.
I don't know seems really weird to have an exhibition game that far into the schedule. We will have played at least 7 games before this game. Looking at past schedules we have never had an exhibition game this late, have always been the first two games. I did see the article, I guess, I just assumed it wasnt the case in my head. Also the wording in bold seems odd to me, I guess it is coming from the VCSU website.
Yeah, it's really weird the way these games set up. It is an exhibition game for Valley City and not an exhibition game for NDSU. It has been this way for Mayville and Valley City in the past. Weird how the NAIA and NCAA allow this. It's not a bad thing just weird.

With the late schedule release, Saul Phillips must be working on getting another quality program to the BSA this fall.
So what about K state at the BSA?
I was hoping UWGB would play at NDSU since we seem to be doing an every-other-year type deal, but no dice this time around:
