Nice idea! Shouldn't it just be Brigham Young University? Or at least allow that as a type-in?

Brigham Young itself should work.

Edit: I accidentally double pasted the Brigham Young type in, so it wasn't working properly. It has now been fixed.

I know the source is US News, but there are a lot of inaccuracies here. I would reccomend crowdsourcing instead of US News which is famously inaccurate and arbitrary. For example, UIowa is certainly not the best college in Iowa, by a long shot.
