SALT LAKE CITY-The two major universities in the state have long had a storied rivalry across numerous sports. Now, a traveling trophy for the school that wins the most competitions will have a name and a trophy bearing the name of Deseret First Credit Union.

A team trophy will be awarded to the individual winner of each sport - football, basketball, softball, etc. Points won by the individual sports will count toward each school's overall total. At the conclusion of each school year, a granite traveling trophy will be awarded to the overall rivalry series champion.
