The Battle On Broadway, also known as the Kentucky–Transylvania rivalry, is a rivalry[1][2] between inter-city and in-state rivals in football and basketball. Both schools in fact were once under the same Kentucky University. The Agricultural & Mechanical College of Kentucky eventually broke off to become its own separate entity in 1878. Almost a hundred years after most of the games were played the Lexington Herald-Leader wrote that the rivalry was "arguably more intense and controversial than any experienced in UK's history.”[2]
