2011-12 Crimson & Gold Cup Results

Purdue Vs. Indiana

For more than a century, two titans of Indiana intercollegiate sports have squared off. As the Purdue-Indiana rivalry flourished and the stakes outgrew mere bragging rights, traveling trophies emerged. The Old Oaken Bucket is at stake each fall on the gridiron. In women's basketball, the Barn Burner Trophy is on the line. In volleyball, the Monon Spike is in play. And in women's soccer, it's the Golden Boot.

The stakes rose higher in 2001-02, with the introduction of the Crimson & Gold Cup, which awards points to the winning team in each of the schools' 18 shared sports. At the end of each academic year, the points are tallied and the winning school is awarded the Crimson & Gold Cup title.

For ties, each team gets one-half point. If the two teams do not meet during the regular season, the higher finisher at the Big Ten Championships is the Crimson & Gold Cup sport winner.

Through the first 11 years of competition, Indiana has captured the title six times and Purdue three times, with two years ending in a tie.
