UCCU Crosstown Clash

The UCCU Crosstown Clash is a collegiate sports rivalry between Brigham Young University (BYU) and Utah Valley University (UVU) sponsored by Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU). The two universities are both situated on University Parkway in Orem and Provo, Utah and are located only 3.4 miles apart.[1] While UVU is currently a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), and BYU was in the past a member of the WAC, the series has always been a non-conference game. This is because UVU joined the WAC in 2013 and BYU left the WAC for the Mountain West Conference in 1999.[2][3]
