The Nickel Trophy was presented to the winner of the formerly annual football game between the rival University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux (who changed their nickname and logo in 2012) and the North Dakota State University Bison. The two universities are approximately 76 miles apart on the eastern border of North Dakota. Since UND and NDSU have not played each other in football since 2003 the trophy has not been contested since then and the series is considered defunct.
