	Eisenhower went to the United States Military Academy (West Point), not USNA.

	Did all of these Presidents compete on an intercollegiate team? I don't think a kid from Arkansas was on Oxford's real rugby team for example (if they even have an intercollegiate team, I don't know how college sports work in the UK). If not, you might devise an asterisk to note which ones actually competed with other colleges.

	Did the president actually play college level basketball or just intramural whatever?

	Obama's wikipedia article says he was on his high school basketball team, but does not mention being on the college team.

	I think a few of these played at the intramural level, certainly including Clinton and perhaps Obama. I am not remotely trying to start conspiracy theories, but there appears to be controversy as to whether he was on Occidental's team: http://articles.latimes.com/2008/nov/10/sports/sp-crowe10

	@Cecispanda: I've removed President Obama from the quiz due to a lack of evidence that he ever played for Occidental. As for whether these presidents competed with other colleges, I'm not sure on all of them (I know at least Ford, Bush, and Eisenhower did), but there are sources to prove that they were indeed on their school's respective teams.
