NDSU is known for its intense athletic rivalry with the University Of North Dakota in Grand Forks. In the past, the football teams of the two schools would compete for the "Nickle Trophy" - an oversized replica of an "Indain Head Nickel". The front of the trophy has a Native American representing the UND Sioux Team and the obverse has an American bison representing the NDSU team. The oversized coin is dated 1889, the year North Dakota gained statehood. However, with NDSU's move to Division I athletics and UND's decision to stay in Division II for the time being, the athletic rivalry between the two campuses is at a stand still. Bison fans have begun to regard South Dakota State University , another Division I school and an opponent for over a century, as a new major rival for NDSU. The two schools now compete for the Dakota Marker Trophy - a replica of the original stone border markers between North Dakota and South Dakota. The current head coach is Craig Bohl .
