With the help of message board members beginning in 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—began answering this question and others related to rivalry in NCAA Football. Please help us update and expand our results to ensure that the North Texas Mean Green are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our newest survey: https://umassamherst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3FdJ8eN2EgFCfCB?grpID=1051&mbsrc=mb Our previous results have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website BUT we'd prefer you didn't until you completed the survey via the link above... we don't want to influence your opinions provided in the survey. We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include the North Texas Mean Green by participating and please share this with any other fans that may also help. Jonah, Student Researcher, Northern Kentucky University Dr. Joe Cobbs, Northern Kentucky University Dr. David Tyler, University of Massachusetts—Amherst

"What does rivalry mean to you? I'm a college student working with my professors to answer that question and others related to understanding fans' perspective of college football rivalries. Please take our survey (5-10 minutes) to tell us what rivalry means to North Texas fans, and we'll come back to share the results once compiled. https://wcu.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0v7XhwfYyPlNW9T&mbsrc=mb0287 We collected rivalry data initially in 2013, and we're hoping for more data now and to track possible changes in rivalry over time. Thanks in advance for helping with our research! Logan Jones, Sports Business student at Northern Kentucky University Dr. Joe Cobbs, Northern Kentucky University Dr. David Tyler, Western Carolina University"

We're looking to answer that question by conducting research on college football rivalries across the country. Please take our survey to tell us what rivalry means to North Texas fans, and we'll come back to share the results later in the year. As an added incentive, we'll give away three Amazon gift cards ($100, $50, $50) via a random drawing on or about September 10. http://nkubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1R2QsOIXzkdM8IZ&mbsrc=mb0287 Thanks in advance for helping with our research!
