However, in 2011, the Big Sky conference expanded to 13 football playing members, and Southern Utah University was extended an all-sports invitation. Since then, the Lumberjacks and Thunderbirds have competed every year. In 2012, the HintonBurdick Grand Canyon Trophy was introduced as a traveling trophy that would go to the winner.^[4] The trophy was first won by Southern Utah by a score of 35–29.^[5]
