The trophy was established by brothers Barry "Buck" and Bob Lippencott. Buck played football at Indiana (IUP) and Bob played at California, competing against each other in 1963 and 1964. The brothers made a donation to their universities to establish an athletic scholarship.[1] In addition, proceeds from sponsorship of the Pennsylvania Coal Association will be split between the two schools.[2][3]
