Conference and membership changes

This was the final season for the North Dakota College Athletic Conference.^[3] The conference's six remaining members, all from North Dakota, would join with four South Dakota-based members of the South Dakota-Iowa Intercollegiate Conference to form the Dakota Athletic Conference for the 2000 season. At its dissolution, the NDCAC had sponsored football for seventy-seven seasons, beginning in 1922.
This was also the final season for the South Dakota-Iowa Intercollegiate Conference.^[4] After the end of play, the SDIIC's remaining members joined either the new Dakota Athletic Conference (with former members of the NDCAC) or the existing Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference (which would subsequently rebrand as the Great Plains Athletic Conference). The SDIIC and its predecessor, the South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference, had sponsored football for eighty-two seasons, beginning in 1917.
