Because this benefited NDSU in getting to 6 home games in 2015 and 2019 for very cheap. Unless your community college can provide that type of value again, it just is not happening. Your community college would be wiser, in my mind, to try to find a way to crack into Summit/MVFC. That is the only way to get home and homes, and stabilizing the Summit is a good thing for NDSU.
I think the most likely (only?) possibility for an annual game is with the programs in the same conference. IMO, that probably won't be UND in the MVFC either. More likely both programs in a conference composed of former MVFC and Big Sky programs. Potentially in a different Big Sky conference as I really don't see much of the MVFC programs in a position to step up their football programs.
