'''Vanderbilt University''' is a private university in Nashville, Tennessee. Their quiz bowl team has been quasi-active for many years in the southeastern and national circuits. More recently, after [[Matt Keller]]'s departure, it has almost completely degenerated into "trash capture" (practicing on [[Masonic]] questions, attempting to write a trash tournament) while still hosting one high school tournament a year, and only more recently has it acquired a core of dedicated players.
