Bison to Join Mountain West as Football-Only Member in 2026

The Mountain West Conference announced that North Dakota State University will join as a football-only member beginning July 1, 2026, with a two-year transition during which NDSU will be ineligible for the MW Championship Game and postseason until 2028.
