NDSU

North Dakota State University and South Dakota State University have played for the Dakota Marker trophy annually since 2004 when the two football teams began NCAA Division I competition.

The trophy was proposed by the NDSU chapter of Blue Key National Honor Society, co-sponsored by the SDSU Student Association, and unveiled to the public on April 21, 2004, at a ceremony just outside of Hankinson, N.D., near the North Dakota/South Dakota border.

The trophy is a 75-pound model replica of the original quartzite monuments that were 7 feet long and 10 inches square and placed at half-mile intervals along the border in the summers of 1891 and 1892.  It is inscribed with N.D. and S.D. on opposite sides and 190 M, the number of miles between Fargo, N.D., and Brookings, S.D.
