=== Football === {{main|Iowa State Cyclones football}} [[Image:Jack trice stadium south endzone.jpg|thumb|[[Jack Trice Stadium]]]] Football first made its way onto the Iowa State campus in 1878 as a recreational sport, but it was not until 1892 that Iowa State organized its first team to represent the school in football. In 1894, college president William M. Beardshear spearheaded the foundation of an athletic association to officially sanction Iowa State football teams. The 1894 team finished with a 6–1 mark.<ref>{{cite news|title=History of Iowa State: Time Line, 1875-1899.

Since 1977, Iowa State and Iowa compete annually for the [[Cy-Hawk Trophy]]. Iowa State competes in an [[Iowa State–Kansas State football rivalry|annual rivalry game]] against [[Kansas State University|Kansas State]] known as Farmageddon and against former conference foe [[University of Missouri|Missouri]] for the [[Telephone Trophy]]. The Cyclones also compete against the [[Iowa–Iowa State football rivalry|Iowa Hawkeyes]], their in-state rival. [[Image:MattCampbellISU2016.jpeg|left|thumb|150px|Head coach [[Matt Campbell (American football coach)|Matt Campbell]]]] The Cyclones play their home games at [[Jack Trice Stadium]], named after [[Jack Trice]], ISU's first [[African-American]] athlete and also the first and only Iowa State athlete to die from injuries sustained during athletic competition. Trice died three days after his first game playing for Iowa State against [[University of Minnesota|Minnesota]] in [[Minneapolis, Minnesota|Minneapolis]] on October 6, 1923. Suffering from a broken collarbone early in the game, he continued to play until he was trampled by a group of Minnesota players. It is disputed whether he was trampled purposely or if it was by accident. The stadium was named in his honor in 1997 and is the only NCAA Division I-A stadium named after an African-American.<ref>{{cite news |title=Iowa State Media Guide-Records. 2008. |url=http://www.cyclones.com//pdf7/134422.pdf?SPSID=48396&SPID=4653&DB_OEM_ID=10700 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923212145/http://www.cyclones.com//pdf7/134422.pdf?SPSID=48396&SPID=4653&DB_OEM_ID=10700 |archive-date=September 23, 2015 }}</ref> Jack Trice Stadium, formerly known as Cyclone Stadium, opened on September 20, 1975, with a win against the [[United States Air Force Academy]].
