In football, the rivalry is less intense, but notable for the two school's geographic proximity, the history and longevity of the series with 73 total meetings dating back to 1899 and their status as a previously "protected rivalry" in the Big Ten.{{Cite web |title=Looking back at Big Ten's Legends and Leaders |url=https://www.thegazette.com/sports/looking-back-at-big-tens-legends-and-leaders/ |access-date=2024-07-05 |website=www.thegazette.com |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-04-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220427041413/https://www.thegazette.com/sports/looking-back-at-big-tens-legends-and-leaders/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=2010-09-01 |title=Happy Valley Insider - Big Ten sets divisions, protected rivalry games |url=https://pennstate.rivals.com/news/big-ten-sets-divisions-protected-rivalry-games |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240705221504/https://pennstate.rivals.com/news/big-ten-sets-divisions-protected-rivalry-games |archive-date=2024-07-05 |access-date=2024-07-05 |website=pennstate.rivals.com}}
This multi-sports rivalry is further hallmarked by the two schools' similarities. Both schools are flagship universities in bordering states in the Midwest, both schools start with the letter "I", both schools are longtime members of the Big Ten Conference, both school's mascots are named after their respective state's demonym and both schools play their home football games in a stadium named "Memorial Stadium."{{Cite web |date=2009-11-11 |title=Maisel: Living memorials |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=4643874 |access-date=2024-07-05 |website=ESPN.com |language=en |archive-date=2023-11-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231130151727/https://www.espn.com/college-football/columns/story?columnist=maisel_ivan&id=4643874 |url-status=live }} Additionally, in basketball, the Indiana Hoosiers play their home games in Assembly Hall while the Illinois Fighting Illini play their home games in State Farm Arena, which was formerly named Assembly Hall.

Illinois and Indiana first met on January 20, 1906 with an Illinois victory, 27-24. Since the two teams are both in the Big Ten Conference, they meet at least once a season. The location of the game alternates between Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington and the State Farm Center, formerly Assembly Hall, in Champaign. There have been a total of five overtime games in this series.{{cite web |title=Illinois Basketball: The Indiana Rivalry Over the Years |date=18 January 2015 |url=http://writingillini.com/2015/01/18/illinois-basketball-indiana-rivalry-years/ |access-date=December 19, 2015 |publisher=Writing Illini |archive-date=4 July 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240704103652/https://writingillini.com/2015/01/18/illinois-basketball-indiana-rivalry-years/ |url-status=live }}
In mid-1980s Indiana head coach Bob Knight brought allegations to the NCAA that Illinois assistant coaches had acted improperly in the recruitment of Lowell Hamilton. Hamilton was the focus of a recruiting competition between Illinois and Indiana, and while the allegations of improper conduct were unfounded by the NCAA, the controversy had some level of impact on the games at the time.{{cite web | url=http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2009-01-08/tate-intense-rivalry-cools-fire-still-burns.html | publisher=News Gazette | title=Intense rivalry cools, but a fire still burns | author=Tate, Loren | date=January 8, 2009 | access-date=December 21, 2015 | archive-date=December 22, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222090146/http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2009-01-08/tate-intense-rivalry-cools-fire-still-burns.html | url-status=live }}{{Infobox sports rivalry

}}On March 10, 1991, after an Indiana victory in Champaign, a profanity-laced shouting match between Knight and Fighting Illini coach Lou Henson erupted outside the team locker rooms. The incident started when Knight left the Assembly Hall court with seven seconds remaining in the game, skipping the traditional postgame handshake while laughing and waving to the Illinois crowd. This incident enraged Henson to the point of confronting Knight outside of the locker room. Henson's anger continued as he spoke out against Knight at the postgame press conference.
{{quote box|width=30em|bgcolor=#c6dbf7|align=center|quote="What do you expect out of Knight? He`s a classic bully. I was in the (Indiana) locker room, he jumped on me and I wanted him to come outside. He intimidates the Big 10 office; he tries to intimidate everybody. His entire life is based on intimidation, but the big bully won`t intimidate me." |source=—Lou Henson{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-03-11-9101220756-story.html|title=KNIGHT, HENSON SQUARE OFF|access-date=February 23, 2023|date=Mar 11, 1991|author=Isaacson, Melissa|work=Chicago Tribune|archive-date=February 23, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230223193709/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-03-11-9101220756-story.html|url-status=live}}

In a game at Bloomington on February 25, 1998, Indiana head coach Bob Knight was issued two technical fouls by referee Ted Valentine for first arguing a call after a hard collision between Illinois guard Sergio McClain and Indiana guard Luke Recker in which McClain was issued a technical foul for touching the rim after blocking Recker's shot. Coach Knight argued the call should have been goaltending. From the collision, Recker fell hard to the court in pain. To check on his player, Coach Knight rushed to the court for which he was issued the second technical foul by Valentine.{{cite web | url=https://www.si.com/vault/2013/03/25/106300715/the-hell-of-fame | publisher=Sports Illustrated | title=The Hell of Fame | author=Davis, Seth | date=March 25, 2013 | access-date=December 21, 2015 | archive-date=December 22, 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222084302/http://www.si.com/vault/2013/03/25/106300715/the-hell-of-fame | url-status=live }}
Occasional feuds and incidents between the schools' programs have fueled the competition over the years. Illinois has dominated Indiana in the short history of the Big Ten tournament. Since the onset of the conference tournament, Illinois and Indiana have played a total of 9 times. Illinois holds the record of 6-3 over Indiana. In the 1999 Big Ten tournament the Hoosiers and the Illini faced each other and Illinois won the game 82-66. Illinois would go on to win 4 of the next 5 tournament meetings.
Another feud is less focused on the tension between the two schools, but rather a former Illinois head coach and his ties to Indiana. Bruce Weber coached the Fighting Illini from 2003–12, but the history between Weber and Indiana began before he set foot in Champaign. As head coach at Southern Illinois University for five years from 1998-2003, he scheduled some non-conference meetings against Indiana. Before that, Weber served as an assistant coach under Gene Keady at Purdue University for 18 years. During his tenure at Illinois, Weber noted that there was tension between himself and Indiana (see Indiana–Purdue rivalry).{{cite news|url=http://www.news-gazette.com//sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2012-02-09/klee-illini-get-earful-indiana.html|title=Klee: Illini to get earful at Indiana|access-date=December 19, 2015|work=The News-Gazette|date=February 9, 2012|first=Paul|last=Klee|archive-date=December 22, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222084932/http://www.news-gazette.com//sports/illini-sports/mens-basketball/2012-02-09/klee-illini-get-earful-indiana.html|url-status=live}}
