The Missouri Valley Football Conference and Summit League have agreed to a joint management model that will see MVC Commissioner Jeff Jackson succeed MVFC Commissioner Patty Viverito at the end of this academic year, Summit League Commissioner Josh Fenton serve as Executive Advisor for the MVFC, and the league will hire a new COO. North Dakota President/MVFC Preisdent’s Chair Andy Armacost: “This restructuring ensures the continued success and stability of the MVFC. By streamlining our management and enhancing collaboration among member institutions across three conferences – the Summit League, the Missouri Valley Conference, and the Horizon League – we are positioning ourselves for sustained growth and continued national prominence.” (link)
