	washington DC should count for district of columbia as district of columbia isn't a state either.

	Great quiz, Sporks.

	Good quiz. Just a technicality. We call it "Rutgers University," but the name of the school is "State University of New Jersey, Rutgers." Anyway, I like the quiz. How about largest school per state. Most are easy, but some (like Mississippi) are difficult.

	Good quiz, but it's Dartmouth College, not Dartmouth University.

	The problem with that is too many would likely be "University of (nae of state)" or "(name of state) State University".

	@Sam...For that matter, why not have a college from every state? Yes, the 50th one would be "obvious", but figuring it out on its own wouldn't be any harder than scanning the list to see what is missing.

	@bsd987...You have the official name reversed; it's "Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey."

	cant believe Creighton is second lowest guessed, figured a team from the Missouri Valley Conference would be a lot higher guessed than some of these non-D1 schools

	All 30 correct!! College sports helped. Chaminade is a d2 school that hosts the Maui Invitational every year.

	@mimigirl: Wake Forest, though currently in Wiston-Salem, NC, was actually founded in the town of Wake Forest, NC, which is near Raleigh. Big tobacco paid to move the school to its current location. The old campus is now a Southern Baptist seminary.

	Am I the only one who thinks state abbreviations should be acceptable--it would save so much time. And yes, woot for Fordham University.

	this is the first real quiz (not counting colors of the rainbow or star wars episodes, etc...) that i got all the answers on my first try, so congratulations me. i didn't know grambling off the top of my head, but it wasn't too hard to guess. bragging about results usually gets voted down, but who cares?

	Kind of weird/annoying that most entries are unique, then 2 of them repeat states. As soon as I had one for a state I stopped guessing that state.

	OK Sporclers, don't ever give anyone the impression that you're proud your alma mater was on a quiz!

	bobc:	Aug 24th, 2009 at 06:18 GMT	3 points
	Andy B, all the better that states could repeat. Instead of just guessing states that hadn't yet been listed, it rewards people who actually know the answer, or at least know the region a college is in.

	It should not be states (including D.C.), as that implies that DC is a state. It should be the states and DC.

	Nice to see that most people know where BYU is. Go Cougs!

	Got 'em all with 3:52 to spare. Unfortunately, Sporcle is only keeping me from packing for one of the California representatives; heading off to grad school at the 5th school on the list in less than 24 hours.

	In junior high, my social studies teacher always had us research and map all the colleges in the NCAA tournament. That exercise, plus all that college mail I used to get ten years ago and the fact that I know people who've gone to half of these schools made this a very satisfying quiz. (Just didn't know Grambling... sorry, alumni!) Isn't it nice to do really really well once in a while?
