I think they are still a little bitter about UND snubbling them when they first moved to D-I. It was a strange situation where UND would be punished more by beating a D-IAA team than losing to a bad D-II team (regarding playoffs).
I'm sure they will eventually play again and the Nickle Trophy can be resurrected. It has spent way too much time in Grand Forks. I was at NDSU in the Phil Hansen-Tony Satter days so we were used to beating up on the Bison (and everyone else in D-II).
