The Blue Key Victory Bell is presented to the winner of the college football game between Indiana State University and Ball State University.

[1][2][3][4][5] The two schools met regularly between 1924 and 1991 but sporadically since that season.

They have competed for the Victory Bell since 1940; from 1924 to 1947 they were Indiana Intercollegiate Conference rivals and from 1951 to 1967 they were Indiana Collegiate Conference rivals.

The Victory Bell continues to be the official game trophy, even though the Ball State/Indiana state series has become less frequent since the 1990s.

In 1940, the Blue Key chapters at both Indiana State and Ball State agreed to donate a bell to the winner of the football game between their two schools.
