The Beehive Boot , which signifies instate football supremacy among Division I FBS universities from the state of Utah , began in the 1971 NCAA University Division football season . The authentic pioneer boot, which is estimated to be well over 100 years old, is typically awarded annually to the Utah school with the best record against its instate NCAA Division I FBS foes. The schools that compete for the boot are Brigham Young , Utah , and Utah State .
