BUTTE — The geographical footprint of Frontier Conference men's basketball is going to be a lot bigger this season.

The existing six Montana-based teams — Carroll College, MSU-Northern, Montana Tech, Montana Western, Providence and Rocky Mountain College — will now be joined by six additional programs for the upcoming 2025-26 season: Bellevue University (Neb.), Bismarck State (N.D.), Dakota State (S.D.), Dickinson State (N.D.), Mayville State (N.D.) and Valley City State (N.D.).
