Football Tradition
Kentucky Wesleyan is involved in a traveling trophy series with Union College. When the two schools meet in football, the winner of game receives the John Wesley Trophy, the trophy was introduced to the series in 1985. The John Wesley Trophy was named after Methodism founder John Wesley; Wesley was chosen as the namesake for the trophy because both Kentucky Wesleyan College and Union College are Methodist affiliated colleges. The KWC Football program currently has possession of the John Wesley Trophy, earning it by defeating Union 16–14 at Bullet Wilson Field during the 2004 season.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or tradition:
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“In former years it was said that at three o’clock in the afternoon all sober persons were rounded up and herded off the grounds, as undesirable. The tradition of insobriety is still carefully preserved.”
—For the State of Vermont, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
