The past couple of seasons, NDSU vs Montana was a season opening game and EWU losing in OT to NDSU was a major FCS battle. Why weren't those game part of a Challenge Cup?

This year, four teams are in the FCS top eight: #2 NDSU, #4 SDSU, #5 EWU, and #8 UND, so it's not like the teams have dropped off the radar.

Because it is almost football season and someone came up with an idea to hype something?

So the management was incompetent before? A series between the Big Sky is longstanding so now they just decide to hype it?

You can look at this, likely everything else, as sign of your impending BSC apocalypse. The rest of us will enjoy it for what it is, two top conferences battling it out.
