State Farm Lone Star Showdown

Being two of the oldest public universities in the State of Texas, the two schools are archrivals in major sports (primarily football). The current showdown was created on a two-year trial basis to bring more attention to the rivalry in non-major sports. Both universities boast large living alumni bases (over 665,000) and a significant following from supporters throughout the state and nation. The Lone Star Showdown trophy was awarded to the winning school. The final rivalry occurred during the 2011-2012 academic year, coming to an end following Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference.

Point system
Points are awarded for all sports in which both schools maintain an intercollegiate team. Each sport is worth one point, which is awarded to the winner of the head-to-head matchup between the two teams. If the head-to-head matchup ends in a tie, each team receives ½ point. In baseball, the team that wins the regular season three-game series is awarded one point (In the rare event of a split caused by each team winning one of the first two games, and the third game is called on account of weather with the game tied or not played, each team receives ½ point.). In sports where the teams meet twice during the season &mdash; currently softball, volleyball, and men's and women’s basketball &mdash; each contest is worth ½ point.

If the universities do not compete in head-to-head regular season competition, the university that places higher at the Big 12 Conference Championship will earn the point. Should the universities tie in Big 12 Conference Championship competition the point will be split between the two schools. In the sport of track and field, multi-school meets do not count as head-to-head competition.

There are a total of 19 possible points, with 10 points needed to win. In the event of a 9½ to 9½ tie, the winner of the previous year will retain the title for the following year.
