Indiana University-Bloomington (IU) is the flagship campus of the Indiana University system and is located in Bloomington, Indiana.

History

The earliest records of IU's quiz bowl team date to around the year 2000. Led by Wesley Mathews, Indiana tied for 10th at the 2004 ICT.

The team then went inactive until Justin Hawkins arrived from Maryland in 2019 and set about building a new team from scratch. IU has since accumulated a strong team largely composed of PhD students, which secured the school's first top bracket finish at 2024 ACF Nationals.
