+'''Pennsylvania State University''', or '''Penn State''', usually refers to the quiz bowl program at Penn State's flagship campus in State College, Pennsylvania. The team was active in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but underwent a period of dormancy before being revived in 2009 and maintaining an active presence since then.

 ==History==
-The Penn State team dissolved in the 2005 school year, shortly after they attended that year's [[SNEWT]]. After a period of dormancy, the team was revived in 2009. This has included appearances at [[Pennbowl]], [[ACF]] events, and others. Though non-competitive for a while, the team's on-the-buzzer fortunes have improved and their activity has increased.
+In the 1990s, Penn State hosted Nittany Bowl.  Until around 1995, this was done with packet submission CBI-style questions, but was replaced by mACF questions at some point.  In 1998, the tournament used one of NAQT's first invitational series. Penn State hosted at least one incarnation of the [[Wild Cat Invitational]] (it certainly happened in 2002), and hosted the second [[TRASHionals]] in 1999.
-==Tournaments==
+A poorly received 2013 high school tournament known as "Penn State Invitational" received scorn due to a weird power-matching format which caused some teams to play each other four times over the course of a ten round tournament.
