Sources: North Dakota State has agreed to a deal to join the Mountain West in football only for 2026. The school is expected to pay nearly $12 million to join the league, which is in addition to the $5 million it will pay the NCAA to move to FBS.
The GOAT! Congratulations on a great career! and thank you for the impact you’ve had on so many athletes, including me; Forever grateful, Coach Kramer!
North Dakota EDGE Lance Rucker(@11LLR33) broke out in 2025 for the Fighting Hawks.
The Omaha, Nebraska native dominated with 64 tackles(15 TFL's), 11.5 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles.
One of the very best in the FCS.

#0 Lance Rucker is the best pass rusher in the MVC and one of the top players in the entire FCS. Going to be tough for #UND to keep him in Grand Forks another year. Legit Power 4 talent.
Sources: North Dakota State head coach Tim Polasek has agreed in principle to a new seven-year contract, which will bring him through the 2033 season. The new deal includes a significant raise, additional staff money and more program resources.
Was lucky to be part of 4 NDSU vs UND games; played in 3 and sat in both locker rooms. Don’t get it twisted: this is a real rivalry. Players on both sides hate losing to each other. Can’t wait to watch tomorrow! #UNDvsNDSU
USD returns a UND fumble for a TD and the Yotes lead 26-7 in the 3rd
No. 8/10 UND in serious danger of suffering its 3rd loss of the season with home games vs. NDSU and SDSU still to come.
USD is in must-win mode with 4 losses. #FCS
🏈 My Top 8 FCS teams:
1️⃣ NDSU – Most likely finish the season undefeated.
2️⃣ Montana – 8-0 record, took down UND.
3️⃣ SDSU – QB issues, might drop another game.
4️⃣ Tarleton St – Perfect record.
5️⃣ UND – Undefeated in Valley play
6️⃣ Montana St
7️⃣ UC Davis
8️⃣ Lehigh
