北达科他州立大学野牛队在过去14年间在FCS联赛（美式足球冠军赛分组）创造了无与伦比的成功，赢得10个全国冠军1。在去年12月6日FCS季后赛首轮以19分不敌伊利诺伊州立大学后1，该校做出升级决定，本赛季正式迈入FBS（碗赛分组）。
野牛队将于本周六主场对阵杰克逊维尔州立大学，开启其FBS生涯1。随后在9月12日，该队将作为山西联盟新成员客场挑战空军学院1。这一升级将带来重大的财政和人事变化：NCAA重新分类费用达500万美元，加入山西联盟的费用为1250万美元1。足球项目获得22项额外奖学金，年度运营预算从约800万美元翻倍至约1600万美元1。升级前，北达科他州立与FCS对手的交手战绩为9胜5负1。
North Dakota State University has established itself as a dominant force in lower-level college football, capturing 10 national championships over 14 years in the FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) 1. The program's decision to transition to the FBS (Bowl Subdivision) comes after an unexpected setback when the team lost to Illinois State by 19 points in the first round of the FCS playoffs on December 6 1.
The Bison will begin their FBS era this Saturday with a home game against Jacksonville State University 1. The transition carries substantial financial implications, as the university faces a $5 million reclassification fee from the NCAA and a $12.5 million entrance fee to the Mountain West Conference 1. To support the elevated level of competition, the football program will add 22 scholarships, with the operating budget doubling from approximately $8 million to roughly $16 million 1. The team's conference schedule officially begins on September 12 with a road matchup against Air Force Academy 1.
Prior to this transition, North Dakota State compiled a 9-5 record against FBS opponents 1, demonstrating competitive capability at the higher level of play.
