IMHO, NO.....they just want to win
They just want a shot at the national championship each year.
Let's keep following the template that those two schools developed for us.
Win games
win league titles
make NCAA annually,
Beat the Big 5/BCS/Top 25 schools in the NCAA
then those schools will come to your place to play because your program is no long considered a bad loss.
We are getting there under AM.
Let's Keep dancing!
Rivals will take care of themselves.
GO FLYERS!
Keep winning......bingo, we'll be like the boys in Cincy and Indy.

Butler plays in the state of Indiana challenge at Bankers Life Fieldhouse with ND/Purdue/Indiana. They clearly, absolutely care about rivals.
UC and X absolutely care about each other, so much so that they will play each other in the middle of conference season if they have to.
I don't even care that UD doesn't have any traditional rivals anymore, but what you wrote above just isn't true. I'm fine with kicking
SLU around twice a year and VCU's fanbase has developed a nice rivalry with us (even though their actually rival is
Richmond, don't get that confused).
