While

gets all the attention these days, they aren't the only football team in North Dakota worth talking about. For a state with such a low population, there is a huge football scene with two excellent college teams. Formerly known as the Fighting Sioux, the UND sports teams have officially been the Fighting Hawks since 2015. After many years in Division II, the Fighting Hawks have been Division I since 2008. Currently in the Summit League, the Fighting Hawks will join the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020. Until 2020, the Fighting Hawks will be ineligible to win the conference championship due to their independent status. As the excitement builds to join the new conference, and Coach Schweigert's aggressive and energetic coaching style drives momentum, this season is sure to be electric. Don't miss the excitement.
