                Re:  The Victory Funds - Registration No. 2-75736


Gentlemen:


        We have acted as counsel to The Victory Funds (the "Company"), a
Massachusetts business trust created under a written Declaration of Trust dated
and executed November 30, 1981, and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on       
January 6, 1982, as amended and restated on August 24, 1982 and subsequently
amended on January 4, 1983, April 30, 1993 and June 29, 1993 (as amended, the
"Declaration of Trust"), in connection with the public offering of the
Company's  transferable shares of beneficial interest without par value, and on
various other securities and general corporate matters. The Trustees of the
Trust have the powers set forth in the Declaration of Trust, subject to
the terms,  provisions and conditions therein provided. Under Article III,
Section 1 of the  Declaration of Trust, the number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized to  be issued under the Declaration of Trust is unlimited
and the Trustees are  authorized to divide the shares into one or more series
of shares and one or  more classes thereof as they deem necessary or desirable. 
Under Article III,  Section 3, the Trustees may issue shares of any series or
class for such  consideration and on such terms as they may determine without
action or  approval of shareholders.

        Pursuant to Article III, Section 1, the Trustees established fourteen 
separate series of shares, designated "Institutional Money market Portfolio," 
"U.S. Treasury Money Market Portfolio," "Short-Term Government Income 
Portfolio," "Government Bond Portfolio,"

"Corporate Bond Portfolio," "Equity Portfolio," "National Municipal Bond
Portfolio," "Equity Income Portfolio," "Aggressive Growth Portfolio," "Foreign
Markets Portfolio," "Fund for Income Portfolio," "N.Y. Tax-Free Portfolio,"
"Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio," and "Financial Reserves Portfolio"
(collectively, the "Funds").

        We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, the Company has registered an indefinite number of shares of
beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933.  We further understand
that, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2, on or about August 5, 1995, the
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a
Notice making definite the registration of shares of beneficial interest of the
Funds (the "Shares") sold in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal
period ended June 5, 1995, and that the Company is filing with the Commission
the Amended Notice attached hereto concerning the Shares.

        We note that on June 5, 1995, the Financial Reserves Portfolio, Fund
For Income Portfolio, Government Bond Portfolio, Institutional Money Market
Portfolio, National Municipal Bond Portfolio, New York Tax-Free Portfolio
and Ohio Municipal Money Market Portfolio (collectively, the "Portfolios") were
reorganized as newly-created funds of The Victory Portfolios (Registration No.
33-8982) the "Successor Funds") and that the Successor Funds may continue to
utilize the redemption credits of the Portfolios, as described in a letter
dated April 24, 1995 (Ref. No. 95-56-CC) to The Victory Portfolios from the
Staff of the Commission.

        We have reviewed, insofar as it relates or pertains to the Company, the
Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended to the date hereof, pursuant to which Shares were sold
(the "Registration Statement").  We have also examined originals or copies of
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents,
corporate records and other instruments we have deemed necessary or appropriate
for the purpose of this opinion.  For purposes of such examination, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and original documents and the
conformity to the original documents of all copies submitted.

        We are members only of the New York Bar and do not purport to be experts
on the laws of any other state.  Our opinion herein as to Massaschusetts law is
based upon a limited inquiry thereof which we have deemed appropriate under
the circumstances.

        Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have
been duly and validly authorized and, assuming that the Shares have been issued
and sold in accordance with the Company's Declaration of Trust and Registration
Statement, and that the consideration

received therefor was not less than the par value thereof, the Shares which the
Rule 24f-2 Notice attached hereto makes definite in number were legally issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.

        We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Rule 24f-2 Notice
attached hereto.



                                        Very truly yours,
