Hint

Answer

U.S. President from the school above, whose character and commitment to humanitarian efforts are much more highly-regarded than his actual presidency. The longest-lived U.S. president.

Liberal arts school that is usually referred to by a three- or four-word name to differentiate it from a better-known school in the southeast with a similar name. Its football program is known as the "Cradle of Coaches" for the number of successful NFL head coaches that have come through its system as either a player or a coach.

QB from the school above, the youngest Super Bowl-winning quarterback of all-time, and who ranks in the top ten all-time in many categories, including touchdowns, completions, and winning percentage.

U.S. President from the school above, who signed the Sherman Antitrust Act and advocated for stronger protection for Black people's voting rights. He lost a presidential election to the same man he defeated four years prior.

State school that is the largest in its state by enrollment, has a mascot named "Youdee," and competes in the Coastal Athletic Association. Not much stands out about this one. My sister went there, but you probably don't know her.

QB from the school above, who was a long-time NFL starter but was generally regarded as only an average quarterback, with the exception of a fantastic postseason run during which he tied Joe Montana's record for touchdown passes without an interception, culminating with a Super Bowl MVP award. The performance earned him a record contract that he did not live up to. He went to the university at the same time as my sister, but also probably didn't know her.

U.S. President from the school above, the oldest U.S. President in history and the first to have a female vice president. He did not go to the university at the same time as my sister, and definitely doesn't know her, because it would be super weird if she knew him and never brought it up.
