Montana State University – Northern resides in the east division with all four of the previously mention schools. Simpson resides in the west division hailing from California.
Head coach of Lights football at MSU-Northern Jerome Sours spoke about to how he believes it will benefit lights football and the Frontier conference.
“I think it’s great for the diversity of the conference , and you know you see conferences in todays world they are growing larger in numbers for stability.” Sours said. “I Think that helps us, adding the Northstar brothers to this conference is logical, makes a lot of sense and I think it’s a good move for us. we are excited that there is some new opponents to play.”
