n/a	South Dakota	South Dakota State	1889	Intrastate	107	n/a	52-48-7	The South Dakota State University/University of South Dakota Rivalry, which began in 1889, is believed to be the oldest rivalry between a "(Enter State Name) State University" and a "University of (Enter State Name)" school. The South Dakota State University/University of South Dakota rivalry is a one forged in the love for competition, but has since developed into a symbol for the pure hatred the two schools have for one another. The rivalry "ended" in 2003 when South Dakota State University made the successful transition to Division I, however, many hope the rivalry can be rekindled if the University of South Dakota successfully survives their transfer to Division I.
