I've been accepted to both programs. Due to my geographic location and family, distance programs are my only option to attend a top-tier institution. As you can tell by my name, the economy has not been very nice to me and I'm currently exploring other career options outside of banking while still wanting to stay attached to it as most of my experience lies in that industry. I'm young enough (almost 30) that a career change is not the end of the world.
I would appreciate input on which program to attend. I realize IU has a better nationally ranked program for full-time residencies, but there is not a great deal to read about the distance programs and how they rank against each other. If there are any successes from either program I would love to hear about it. Also, if one program engages the students in networking events more? Any information would help.

I think I would be in similar situation as yours. I got admitted to Kelley and waiting on ASU. Just wondering which school did you join and why?

I applied to Kelley Direct (online MBA) in Apr and got the admission offer in few weeks. It seems you are interested in the full time program. You can probably find the application deadlines on Kelley's web site and I would encourage you to apply sooner than later.
As for my profile, I have an MS in statistics, 700 gmat score and 6 yrs work experience. Good luck in your application process.
