	you should specify sport... because in basketball, the State University of New York at Albany, State University of New York at Binghamton, etc. should qualify

	A few which should qualify (although two can be bonuses since "State" isn't in their well-known nickname): Winston Salem State University counts for the time being; they are currently in Division I as a member of the MEAC, but will be headed back down to the CIAA and Division II after this year. While commonly known as North Carolina A&T, its full name is North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. And the school we all know as Virginia Tech is actually Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

	Thanks for the input....I'll add WSSU. I'd like to put the other two on as bonus too, but I can't figure out a way to do that with the make-your-own quiz yet...

	CANDM:	Sep 24th, 2009 at 23:33 GMT		2 points
	According to the FAQ, you just have to put "ee" in that third column for them to be bonus answers.

	Having to type in the word "state" is a hassle. We know the University's name will have state in it; why make us type it?

	If you accept SUNY you should accept CS.

	johnlk:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT		1 point
	I'm not sure I understand why North Carolina A&T and Virginia Tech are bonuses, but the SUNY schools, which in athletics are normally called just Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Stony Brook, are included in the regular bits.

	Voosh:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 01:33 GMT		1 point
	I see your point, but I did that on the basis that at least a decent amount of the time I hear SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Albany, etc., but I almost never hear anyone refer to Virginia Polytechnic and State University, etc. It's kind of a grey area in my opinion...

	GeoExpert:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 01:55 GMT		0 points
	Lack of accepted abbreviations! "Miss Valley State" Also NC State is accepted but not "SC State?"

	never got cresit for the SUNY schools

	There isn't such a school as Cal Polytechnic State University. Cal Poly is another system in California similar to Cal State and UC. There is a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (the Cal Poly that plays D1) plus there is a Cal Poly Pomona.

	Utah Valley State changed their name in 2008 to Utah Valley University, so they don't really belong on this list anymore.

	Missing "South Carolina-Upstate", "Austin Peay State", and "Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey"

	Voosh:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 02:41 GMT		1 point
	I'll add APSU....I don't think USC upstate qualifies because it has to contain the word "state" exactly, not a word that has state in it. As for Rutgers, is that the school's official name? I hear it a lot but I wasn't sure if it is actually an official part of the name. I typically hear just "Rutgers University" as the more often used names. If the long version is official, then it probably belongs with virginia tech in the bonus answers

	shawnoc:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:30 GMT		4 points
	One more vote for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

	shawnoc:	Sep 30th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT		2 points
	And one more vote for not having to type the word "state" every single time.

	Nice quiz.

	Voosh:	Oct 1st, 2009 at 03:36 GMT		1 point
	Question for those of you who want answers accepted without having to retype state over and over: Should that be the case for all of them, even if it's a different school without the word state in it? For example, accepting "Kennesaw" for Kennesaw State poses no problems, but should "Michigan" be accepted for Michigan State, seeing as how the two school are totally different? Part of me feels like it should not be accepted since the schools are obviously different, but then another part of me feels the need to be consistent, and that because it is a state school quiz, it should be implied that when Michigan is typed, it refers to Michigan State. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but input would be appreciated.

	A lot of other college sport quizzes just require st. Maybe that would be a good compromise

	East Carolina Upstate.

	Voosh:	Oct 28th, 2009 at 01:59 GMT		0 points
	if you are talking about South Carolina Upstate (since I don't know of an East Carolina Upstate that exists), it was already brought up and determined it doesn't belong. Upstate does not = state.

	Voosh:	Dec 18th, 2009 at 06:38 GMT		1 point

	Utah Valley State? Also, WSSU plays a D1 basketball schedule in the MEAC.

	adamchappelle:	Jul 7th, 2010 at 20:07 GMT		2 points
	Technically, University of South Carolina-Upstate should count.
