Normally, when two teams are involved in a rivalry they want to win the trophy that's involved. Well, UCF was not terribly excited about winning the "Civil Conflict" because they weren't ever interested in a rivalry with UConn. The Huskies pretty much sprang it on the Knights last year in a tweet that said there were "just 130 days until the next Civil Conflict" with @UCF_Football!"

You know how little UCF cared? The players didn't even wait for a trophy presentation after their 24-16 win over UConn.

UConn staffer just picked up the trophy, looked around for advice on what to do with it, and placed in on the UConn bench.

Same UConn staffer just shrouded the trophy with a towel

Maybe UConn will consider actually asking the other school or giving the other school a reason to make it a rivalry next time it goes around creating fake rivalries. This is one reason why no one cares about the football played in the AAC.
