Battle for the Ol' School Bell

American college football rivalry

The Battle for the Ol' School Bell was a rivalry between the Troy State Trojans (now the Troy Trojans) and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks when the two schools started playing together in Division II.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] The series continued as the Trojans moved to the FCS, with the Gamecocks moving to the FCS soon after. The series came to a halt when Troy moved to what is now the FBS.^[7]^[8] However, with Jacksonville State moving to the FBS and Conference USA in 2023, the rivalry may be renewed again in the near future.^[9] The idea for a school bell trophy stemmed from the two schools' common origins as teachers' colleges.^[10]
