	Can you include "LIU Brooklyn" as an acceptable answer? That's what I attempted at first before realizing I should try Long Island. The school mainly went by LIU Brooklyn during the NCAA tourney, which is the only reason I knew these Blackbirds.

	Did Presbyterian get "full D-I" status yet? I thought they had, but I could be mistaken.

	Yes, Presbyterian did. And as an announcer, I can say it is very humorous saying "Now batting for the Presbyterian Blue Hose....."

	At Presbyterian College, they demonstrate that you can paint your ho any color you'd like. OK, I'm done.

	I think Furman is the Purple Paladins, and even though they're not DI, Mount Union in Ohio is the Purple Raiders.

	I can't believe I missed Army. I didn't even know they were the Black Knights (hangs head in shame)

	I tried typing CCSU and Central Connecticut State. Neither was accepted...

	@big_sexy: Try spelling it 'D-U-K-E'

	@gamer2000, I didn't know Army either, but then I'm a Mainer and I've got my Black Bears. :)

	Could you please specify D1 basketball schools? Especially with the link to the NCAA helmet quiz, I was thinking this was D1 football schools and could not for the life of me come up with anyone with 'purple'. I think it would just be a bit more helpful. Thanks

	Furman is just the Paladins. They've been in the Southern Conference since 1936, thus have never been anything but D1.

	Yeah I think Furman may have been called "The purple" or something way back in 1910, when pretty much every school was just referred to as a colour, but any references to purple nowadays are just commentators being 'colourful'.

	A quick check of the Furman website makes very clear that they are the Paladins. Purple is not part of their name.

	Needs to be updated to include the Kent State Golden Flashes. Typed it multiple times, no credit given.

	Never heard them called the Purple Paladins
