NCAA

Begin by naming an NCAA Division I school - see naming notes below - that school will appear as a pink marker. Then, the 50 closest D-I schools to that school will appear. Try to name as many as possible. Hover over the markers to see the school's conference. Naming notes: I tried to use the most common name for choosing the school to begin with – only ONE name is accepted initially to choose a school, but many alternatives are accepted once you begin naming other schools for the quiz. Some longer schools use an abbreviation, i.e. ‘BYU’, ‘IUPUI’ and ‘NJIT’ – the main state school will be just the state name, i.e. ‘Wisconsin.’ or ‘North Carolina.’ – note you may have to enter the period at the end for many of these to prevent answering it when trying other state schools at different locations, which are answered in the format ‘State Location’ i.e. ‘Wisconsin Green Bay’…some other naming conventions include ‘Cal State Bakersfield’ and ‘SUNY Albany’ for examples of CA & NY state schools. ‘St Francis’ is the name of two schools – ‘St Francis PA’ and ‘St Francis NY’ are the formats for those. Questions on a naming to start the quiz – ask in the comments.

Begin by naming an NCAA Division I, II or III school - see naming notes below - that school will appear as a large white marker (often with other markers for nearby schools covering part of it). Then, the 50 closest schools to that school will appear. Try to name as many as possible. Hover over the markers to see the school's conference. Large markers are D-I, medium are D-II, and small are D-III. Naming notes: I tried to use the most common name for choosing the school to begin with – only ONE name is accepted initially to choose a school, but many alternatives are accepted once you begin naming other schools for the quiz. Regarding the initial name to choose your school – some longer schools use an abbreviation, i.e. ‘BYU’, ‘IUPUI’ and ‘NJIT’ – the main state school will be just the state name, i.e. ‘Wisconsin.’ or ‘North Carolina.’ – note you may have to enter the period at the end for many of these to prevent answering it when trying other state schools at different locations, which are answered in the format ‘State Location’ i.e. ‘Wisconsin Green Bay’…some other naming conventions include ‘Cal State Bakersfield’ and ‘SUNY Albany’ for examples of CA & NY state schools. ‘St Francis’ is the name of two schools – ‘St Francis PA’ and ‘St Francis NY’ are the formats for those. ‘Saint’ is always abbreviated ‘St’ for naming the initial school you are choosing. If a school you want to choose isn’t registering, you may have to try a ‘.’ at the end, the state’s abbreviation after it, or maybe removing a leading ‘The’ or words such as ‘University’ or ‘College’.

You will be shown a map with red markers for all NCAA Division 1 Schools. Double-click on the one specified to answer it. If you click on the correct school, the marker will turn green. Otherwise no change will be made to the markers. 50 randomly chosen schools will be given.

Note - you may want to zoom in if schools are close to one another to make sure you are clicking on the correct one.

If the red markers do not appear when the quiz is loaded, try refreshing the page.

Begin by entering a number of cities - '25', '50', '100' or '2.5h' (for 250) - then name the closest NCAA Division I/II/III schools to your geographic location (as determined by your browser's location function). To use this quiz you will have to choose 'Allow' if your browser asks to share your current location - you also may have to restart the quiz after choosing this. If your browser does not allow getting your location the quiz will not load.

Name the NCAA Division I FBS school by logo shown (any text identifying the school's name or mascot has been removed if possible - sometimes it is just part of the logo however). 25 random logos chosen from among current (or recently current) NCAA D-I FBS schools. The faster you answer, the more points you get. This quiz cannot be paused.

Do not enter long names such as 'University of' or 'College of' - simply the school name or if it's a state school with multiple locations typically the location will suffice. Some common school abbreviations are accepted but many are not as the abbreviation may be shown in the logo.

Name the NCAA Division I, II and III schools. Time bonuses are available for completing states, conferences, and # of schools.  Conferences are the primary conference for each school – the school may have certain sports in other conferences. NAMING NOTES: you need not type in “University” or “at” – typing a state name will answer the state’s primary “University of (state)” school, i.e. “Wisconsin” will answer UW-Madison. For other state schools, simply type the school name and location, i.e. Wisconsin so-and-so. Some abbreviations are accepted but many are not due to the dupes they would have with other schools. Finally, for the “&” sign as in “A&M” – type in the word “and”…i.e. “a and m”.

You get 5 minutes to identify as many NCAA D-I schools (perhaps transitioning to another division, or D-I in only one sport) as you can from their logo.

If you guess correctly, it will add toward your total and that logo will be removed and the logos will shift with a new one being added in the bottom right. If you guess incorrectly, you are penalized 5 seconds and the logo you click on is still removed and the logos shift with a new one being added.

Occasionally a school may be in an unincorporated area but have a mailing address in an incorporated location, you are to name the incorporated location.
