Promotional fluff created by a local university to create a "rivalry" between the two college teams when there isn't one according to media. Fails

Delete. The article itself points out that this rivalry does not actually exist. –

Delete - Non-notable college rivalry. Does not satisfy applicable guidelines with significant coverage as a rivalry in multiple, independent, reliable sources per
WP:NRIVALRY and
WP:GNG.

Delete in time, this may become a significant rivalry. Right now, it isn't.

Delete Even the sources cited in the article confirm that the "Dam Cup" was created as a marketing ploy by the school's athletic departments in 2010. Ref 1 puts it well: "nothing spells 'artificial rivalry' like 'inventing a trophy that holds no significance.'" Fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NRIVALRY due to lack of coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.
