"Four in-state university basketball programs have the opportunity to earn bragging rights
to a new trophy as the "Battle for Illinois" rivalry series was introduced today by the respective
athletic departments for Bradley, Illinois State, Loyola and Southern Illinois."
"The state’s four Missouri Valley Conference members — Loyola, Bradley, Illinois State and Southern Illinois —
will be part of a new rivalry series called the Battle for Illinois in which the schools will accrue points in men’s and women’s college basketball games.
The first of the head-to-head competitions will be Dec. 31, when the ISU women host Bradley."
wonder if NIU, EIU, WIU and UIC will want to get in on something like this
