The "old fashioned" way is to mix in some bear crumbs and egg. I sometimes grind up "cheap" steak to make burgers ( way less oil/grease, better taste) and always throw an beaten egg in to help it "hold" and fry them in olive oil.
Another way to help it hold together is to play "catch" with it to "pack the meat" better. BY that I mean make a ball and throw it from one hand to another several times, then when you fry it you can alos cover the pan which also cooks it from the top (softer burgers) but when you flip it, it is less likely to fall apart.

I think you might be over cooking it, give it about half the time you would for beef burgers. Bison is kind of like ground turkey, it cooks a lot faster than beef. Also I used to have problems with turkey burgers falling apart, I started spraying them with some Pam and that seems to fix it, not sure why. I've never had that problem with bison, but I've never tried to cook it without spraying the patties first, either.

Thanks for all the tips guys! I use a forman grill in my apartment to make the burgers so temp control is out of the question. I will try to use egg to help the burgers form.
Ian, can you buy this product in MA? i haven't seen buffalo meat or bison meat ....
Yeah man. I get it at Stop N Shop. It's in the meat section (obviously), but it's sometimes hard to see right away, because they come in little one pound squares, and if they stack them close together... but yeah, Stop N Shop.
i got some and just made a burger. mixed it with an egg, then added in some spices. tossed it back an forth in a ball...stayed together perfectly. cooked in olive oil and tasted delicious with some habanero cheese on top...mmmmm mmmmmmmm
