Delete While we've got one article that says it's a rivalry, it's not actually a "these are rivals" but instead is more of a puff/opinion piece. I can't find anything else which calls these two schools true rivals in the sense of the word. SportingFlyer T·C 18:31, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sports Illustrated refers to it as a rivalry [1], but that's a bit of a puff piece. That and the one-contributer's-ranking piece in the Dallas Morning News in the article aren't enough to verify that this is actually a significant rivalry. Hog Farm (talk) 21:55, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Just because the two teams are in the same conference, doesn't mean they're rivals. Sulfurboy (talk) 20:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
