NCAA 50 Closest Division I Schools – Choose School
DirectionsBegin 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.
Anyway to add a few more variants for UT-Chattanooga? I tried several, and since the school is technically called university of Tennessee at Chattanooga and everyone from the area calls it UT-chattanooga or just chattanooga never tried exactly “Tennessee Chattanooga.” Thank you for the quiz!
My starting school was Ohio and it wouldn’t accept Ohio State
I just tried it. it accepted “Ohio St”
I wasn’t able to get any of the Texas A and M schools in the original. They all worked in a quiz where they were answers though.
It’s not accepting Virginia Tech when I’m doing the 50 closest to Ohio State.
I just tried it and it took, maybe a misspelling?
That one was my mistake, however, when I tried the 50 closest to some western schools where Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge were in the 50 closest, I tried Cal State X, California St X, Cal St X, California State X, CSU X, and X St, where X was either Fullerton or Northridge, and none of them seemed to work.
hmm…I just did ucla and typed in “cal state Fullerton” and “cal state Northridge” and they both took
Also, Harvard did not come up nor Central Connecticut when the base school was Fordham.
Cen Conn fixed – I think Harvard is just outside the distance for Fordham.
Merrimack is now D1. More suggested abbreviations: URI for Rhode Island, FDU for Fairleigh Dickinson.
fixing. also Merrimack is outside the Fordham closest 50.
tried to enter both Prairie View and Texas A&M Corpus Christi, but they werent recognized.
when answering schools type ‘a and m’ not a&m and they will work.
