Great quiz. Charleston is in South Carolina not West Virginia. Check schools like Southern Utah not South Utah...there's a couple messed up. Should probably except North Carolina AT and North Carolina Central. Other than that good job!

Thanks for your suggestions, 'coolguy6.' Charleston University is in West Virginia but there is also Charleston Southern University which is in South Carolina. The two NC schools you mentioned have been adjusted to accept your suggestions.

Hey 'cooguy6'. Thanks for your comment re College of Charleston being in South Carolina and not Virginia. I confused it with Charleston University which is in West Virginia. Apologies and thanks for noticing. This has now been fixed.

This is a great quiz! A couple of suggestions here: I agree with coolguy6 that Charleston is in South Carolina. I'm sure there is a Charleston U in West Virginia, but not one that plays D-1 Basketball. College of Charleston and Charleston Southern University are both D-1 schools in Charleston, SC. Also, Davidson is in North Carolina, not Kentucky.

Thanks for commenting on the College of Charleston being in South Carolina. I confused it with Charleston University which is in West Virginia as you mentioned. Also thanks for noticing Davidson is in North Carolina and not Kentucky. Both changes have been fixed. Thanks again!

Noticed there are 352 answers, but only 351 NCAA Division I schools. Perhaps a double-answer somewhere?

Some suggested additional answers: "MO Kansas City" is never referred to as that. It's "UMKC" or maybe "University of Missouri Kansas City." Maybe "UM Kansas City" or "University of Missouri KC." For MD Eastern Shore, you should include "Maryland Eastern Shore." For "Mt. St. Mary," also accept "Mount St Mary."

Love this quiz. I keep playing it over and over. Also, love the one with team names (not yours). Never can get them all. Need to do individuals quizzes for each state with the college name, team name and location (city). Maybe that will help me learn them all.

I love this quiz. I take it a lot. However, I have noticed a few mistakes:

1. North Colorado should be Northern Colorado

2. Technically Pine Bluff should be Arkansas-Pine Bluff (I don't know if that's accepted but that's it's real name)

3. Central Florida goes by UCF, and the same could possibly go for South Florida (USF)

4. According to Wikipedia, the common name for Florida International is FIU

5. Savannah State dropped down to Division II

6. Merrimack College in Massachusetts joined D1 in 2019

7. IPFW became Purdue Fort Wayne (Indiana University isn't a part of it anymore)

8. Louisiana Lafayette should be accepted for LA Lafayette

9. Same for Louisiana Monroe (LA Monroe)

10. Same with Southeast Missouri State (SE Missouri St)

11. UMass Lowell should work for MA Lowell

12. Mt St Mary should be Mt St Mary's at the least

13. St Josephs should be St Joseph's

14. LIU Brooklyn and LIU Post (a D2 School) merged together to create LIU

15. Arlington should be Texas Arlington or UT Arlington

Also, Sam Houston should be Sam Houston State in the answer box. There might be more possible fixes, but these were the ones I noticed. Thanks for making this!

You're missing Merrimack in Massachusetts, and it's Northern Colorado, not North Colorado. Also, Savannah State dropped down to D2.

Awesome. Thanks. Also, it looks like a school named Bellarmine in Kentucky was added to D1 and Tarleton in Texas was also added to D1 earlier this year.

St. Thomas in Minnesota will be added for next year as well. Also possible to increase the time limit?

Great quiz! Very comprehensive! Sorry to sound like I'm nitpicking but I believe IPFW or even Fort Wayne can also be accepted for Purdue Fort Wayne if I'm not mistaken.

Just as well, Tarleton State (TX) and UC San Diego (CA) should be added, as well as St. Thomas (MN) next year.

As cjraysfan10 pointed out above, it looks like Indiana University pulled out of the partnership with Purdue so the school cannot be called IPFW anymore. Thanks for paying attention to the details though.

Thanks for the input! Didn't realize there were three NCAA basketball schools in San Diego. You also solved a problem brought up earlier by IronDerBear who noticed there were 352 answers but only 351 NCAA Div 1 schools. I could never figure out which school, (Ball St), was entered twice as an answer.

Love the quiz! Some things I noticed is that ECU should be accepted for East Carolina University and schools such as North Carolina, NC Greensboro, NC Wilmington, ect. should all be accepted as UNC or UNC Greensboro and UNC Wilmington. You are also missing Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Another Carolinian chiming in, imo "Eastern Carolina University" should be accepted for "East Carolina" and definitely "App State" for "Appalachian State".

Great quiz!!

Great quiz but lot of work needed on type-ins. In particular it took me a while to get TAMU-CC correct - need to make it in the syntax so that anything containing "corpus christi" is accepted
