WHITEFISH, Mont. – Frontier Conference commissioner Kent Paulson announced today that the league has postponed their fall football season, with hopes to play a full schedule in the spring of 2021.
"The leagues administrators have diligently continued to evaluate high risk sports and have exhausted every resource available in making this decision today," Paulson said. "The intention of the conference has always been to place the student-athletes, coaches and support staff's safety at the very top of the priority list. This announcement today will allow for all eight teams to once again operate collectively as a conference in the spring and participate in a schedule providing that safety standards allow for play. The Frontier Conference will plan to participate in the post-season whenever the NAIA championship dates are set for next spring."
College of Idaho, Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon announced in mid-July that they would move their schedules to the spring – aligning with the rest of their sponsored sports within the Cascade Conference. The five Montana schools – Carroll, Montana Tech, Montana Western Montana State Northern and Rocky Mountain – had proposed an eight-game fall schedule, with today's decision shelving the proposal.
