If we had a conference opponent with a shared history and/or close geography we would not need an OOC rivalry game but it still feels like we are "new" to the A10 and do not firmly have 2 feet planted in the conference.
As others said earlier, you cannot make a rival just by putting a game on the schedule. But, that would be the first step if UD wanted a "rival" game. I think a few more years of consistent RPI will help us get a traditional rival back on the schedule.
