Two or more schools have a longstanding collegiate rivalry. They could be primary schools or top-flight universities, but the point is, their students and alums invariably come into conflict over whose alma mater is better.
This often manifests as a rivalry between the schools' athletics teams and [[FandomRivalry their fans]]. In such a case, the students might not care whether they win the championship game, [[WeWinBecauseYouDidnt as long as they won against their rival on the way up]]. You could also wind up with {{Bar Brawl}}s breaking out over somebody wearing their team's jersey to the wrong bar, or attempts to sneak into the other school to play pranks.
