Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series

On April 12, 2011, it was announced that the competition would be sponsored by the Iowa Corn Promotion Board and the Iowa Corn Growers Association.

In the event that a contest ends in a tie, the points are split.

For academics, each school earns a single point if the graduation rate for student athletes exceeds the overall student body rate.

[2] The university with the most overall points at the end of the academic year is awarded the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series Trophy (not to be confused with the Cy-Hawk Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the schools' annual football game).

If both schools tie on points at the end of the academic year (as in 2015–16), the school that won the trophy the previous year keeps the series trophy.

The series is currently tied, with each school owning nine titles.

Due to the COVID pandemic, the Cy-Hawk Series was paused in 2020–2021.
