Allegheny University is a public land-grand research University located in Pittsburgh, PA. Allegheny is the second oldest University in the State of Pennsylvania and third largest in the state by enrollment. Named after the river bordering the campus grounds, Allegheny University has become a source of pride for all of Western Pennsylvania, known lovingly by locals simply as "The A". The schools nickname is the "Yinzers", a reference to the locals and their unique way of talking about groups by saying "yinz" rather than "yall" or "you guys". The Yinzers have a diehard fanbase, selling out every home football game since the early 80s. Allegheny is best known for their football team which has won a couple NACAA titles and wears their iconic winged helmet. The Ol' Black and Gold also have traditionally solid hockey, baseball, and lacrosse programs that have won their fair shares of Old American titles. With their history of success in athletics, the Yinzers have formed quite a few rivalries. Matchups against West Virginia Tech, Maryland State, and in state rivalry games against Commonwealth and Philly are always intense and their annual football rivalry with St. Patrick is one of the oldest in all of the NACAA.

Tennessee A&M University is a public land-grand research University located in Memphis, TN. TAMU is the largest, oldest, and most academically prestigious University in the State of Tennessee and is also the State's Flagship University. Tennessee A&M is very highly regarded academically, boasting a world-class engineering school. It isn't just an academic school though with the beloved Crimson Catfish competing near the top of the national rankings in Football, Baseball, and occasionally Basketball. The nickname "Crimson Catfish" was coined in 1927 when an article was posted in the local newspaper with the sports writer describing the crimson clad TAMU football team as "stronger than a hundred pound Catfish". The name was used unofficially for the next decade plus, but it became the official moniker for Tennessee A&M athletics in 1940. The Catfish have a very traditional look, embracing their storied history and identity. Tennessee A&M has an incredibly dedicated fanbase, often considered one of the most intense in all of the NACAA with Memphis turning into a sea of Crimson when the Catfish come to play.

They go by the nickname "Palmettos", named for the South Carolina state tree as well as the states nickname "The Palmetto State". Their branding reflects their home state further, taking the colors of the South Carolina flag and using a logo based on that same flag, only flipping the Crescent to make a "C" for Carolina with a Palmetto tree. Carolina is an athletic goliath having won at least one national title in every sport except hockey, though they are best known for their Basketball team which is seemingly always a title contender.
