Locations of Illinois State and Bradley

The I-74 Rivalry (also known as The War on 74[1]) is an annual collegiate athletics rivalry series between the Illinois State Redbirds and the Bradley Braves.[2]

The men's basketball series began in 1905[3] and the women's basketball series started in 1976.[4]

The name refers to the two university's thirty-nine mile proximity[5] and their shared access to Interstate 74, which spans from Cincinnati, Ohio, through central Indiana and central Illinois (specifically Normal and Peoria), terminating in Davenport, Iowa.[6]

Background

Illinois State University is a public institution founded in 1857.[7]; Bradley University is a private institution founded in 1897.[8]

For men's athletics, the Redbirds joined the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in 1980 and the Braves re-joined the MVC in 1955 (their first membership spanned from 1948 to 1952).

In women's athletics, beginning with 1982 until 1992, the Redbirds and Braves competed in the newly formed Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference (GCAC), a women's only conference (the MVC did not sponsor women's athletics until 1992); it was absorbed into the MVC starting with 1992-93 academic calendar and all of its prior records were recognized.

The schools have been in-state rivals since their founding; however, the rivalry intensified upon Illinois State's reclassification in 1970 from the NCAA College Division (further split in 1973 into NCAA Division II (D-II) and NCAA Division III (D-III)) to the NCAA University Division (replaced in 1973 by NCAA Division I (D-I)). Women's athletics competed under the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) from 1971 to 1982; the NCAA initially recognized women's athletics in 1981 and became the sole organization the subsequent academic year.[9]

Baseball

The Redbirds and Braves first played in baseball in 1921.[10][11]

They have combined for seven Missouri Valley Conference regular season championships (Illinois State 3 (one outright), Bradley 4 (three outright)), five regular season division championships (Illinois State 0, Bradley 5 (all outright)) and seven tournament championships (Illinois State 2, Bradley 5).

They have also combined for eleven postseason tournament appearances (Illinois State 4 (four National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Tournament), Bradley 7 (seven NCAA)).
