From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victory Bowl is the championship football game between schools that sponsor football and are members of the
National Christian College Athletic Association and did not qualify for either the
NCAA or
NAIA playoffs. It is one of the few post-season
bowl games for smaller schools. Because the NCCAA is not exclusive, it is possible that schools from the
NAIA and the
NCAA may meet each other in this game, as with the
2008 game .
[1]
In addition to the game, other activities include community service projects that involve players and coaches from both teams.
