Well, it is apparent that NDSU is willing and able to play this fall for OOC contests. They have many open dates. Oregon also has many open dates and and should be able to find a way to play a non con opponent in order to garner those same benefits HCME alluded to in his recent Dan Patrick interview.
Is the state of Oregon or the PAC-12 forbidding OOC games with no fans present? I don’t recall.
