Pairs of schools, colleges and universities, especially when they are close to each other either geographically or in their areas of specialization, often establish a college rivalry with each other over the years. College ( Latin collegium) is a term most often used today to denote an Educational Institution. A university is an institution of Higher education and Research, which grants Academic degrees in a variety of subjects This rivalry can extend to both academics and athletics, the latter being typically more well-known to the general public. College athletics refers primarily to Sports and athletic competition organized and funded by institutions of tertiary education ( Colleges or universities These schools place an added emphasis on emerging victorious in any event that includes their rival. This may include the creation of a special trophy or other commemoration of the event. While many of these rivalries have arisen spontaneously, some have been created by college officials in efforts to sell more tickets and support their programs.

At the time, almost all of the attendance records for NCSU's Carter-Finley Stadium were set by games between the Wolfpack and Pirates. East Carolina offered to extend the contract on the condition some future games be played at the Pirates' home field. NCSU refused and contract negotiations were at an impasse. With the series set to potentially expire, East Carolina fans celebrated the 1987 victory by tearing down the NCSU's goal posts. A post-game altercation ensued between some fans on the field. NCSU privately attempted to renew the series despite the post-game incident, but ECU rejected the offer since it did not include any games in Greenville, NC. The series was canceled, which NCSU attributed to the poor behavior of ECU fans at the 1987 game. The rivalry resumed when both teams were invited to the Peach Bowl played on January 1, 1992. In an exciting game, East Carolina overcame a 17-point deficit in the 4th quarter to defeat NCSU 34-31. The financial success of the Peach Bowl spurred members of the North Carolina legislature to pressure both schools to resume the regular season football series with games to be played at both teams' home stadiums and neutral locations in North Carolina such as the stadium used by the NFL's Carolina Panthers in Charlotte. East Carolina defeated NC State 50-29 in the first game of the revived rivalry on November 30, 1996, in Charlotte, NC.
