FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota State football team plans to play one game in the fall, school officials announced Monday.
The Bison are scheduled to play host to Central Arkansas on Oct. 3 in the first meeting between the two Football Championship Subdivision schools. The contract also includes games in Fargo in 2023 and in Conway in 2025.
The Bears, who play in the Southland Conference, have won 35 games and made three NCAA FCS playoff appearances in the past four seasons.
The Bison play in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, which moved its conference schedule to the spring but left it up to schools to decide if they wanted to play non-conference games this fall.
NDSU originally opened fall camp on Aug. 7 and held five practices before suspending camp on Aug. 14 with no games scheduled. The Bison will resume camp on Sept. 1 and have four weeks to practice prior to the Central Arkansas game.
Details on the allowable crowd size and other game day procedures will be announced later.
