Montana State has lost another nonconference game, further complicating the program’s future this fall.
The Northeast Conference announced Wednesday evening it postponed fall sports because of the coronavirus pandemic, becoming the sixth FCS conference to do so. This means MSU’s game against Long Island, scheduled for Sept. 5 at Bobcat Stadium, is canceled.
This is MSU’s second nonconference contest that was called off. The Bobcats were also going to play at Utah on Sept. 12, but that game was erased when the Pac-12 shifted to conference-only slates this fall. Utah was to pay MSU $675,000 for that matchup.
