The University of Kentucky is a public land-grant university in Kentucky. It has an active Quiz Bowl team.
History
After an era of dominance in the early 2000s, it lay defunct until 2012, when it was revived by a group of players helped by Fred Morlan and Rahul Annabathula. They passed the torch to second generation in a process lasting from 2014 to 2016. The UK Quiz Bowl Team regularly hosts UK Fall and UK Spring Tournaments, usually in White Hall. They have a rivalry with the University of Lousiville.
