UConn Creates Trophy, Rivalry Game With UCF; UCF Has No Idea

Apparently there is now a rivalry game and trophy between UConn and UCF, the “Civil Conflict.” This was news to UCF.

UConn Football tweeted a photo of the trophy on Monday, sounding excited to resume the AAC rivalry in just 130 days’ time.

However, according to UCFSports.com publisher Brandon Helwig, the school had no involvement with creating a trophy or a rivalry game. Huh.

Just checked w/ @UCF_Football: “We have no involvement with the trophy or creating a rivalry game with UConn.” They were surprised by tweet.
