Default Type-In Petition for School Names

Submitted by FlabberBapper on June 30, 2025

It might be just me but for some college sports quizzes, including the featured ones, it irks me that type-ins like Sac St (for Sacramento State) or App St (for Appalachian State) aren't accepted. So I'm running a little petition here to get Dan to accept these as automatic type-ins, feel free to also comment if there are another schools y'all are aware of that should have an automatic type-in that currently don't.

I sometimes see problems with Kent State (or other state schools) requiring you to type the whole word State instead of just st. Same with Ball State, Utah State, and Colorado State.

I really wish WVU were a type-in for West Virginia University. I can't imagine there are many other colleges with those initials.

Same with Bowling Green State Univ. It would be more convenient to accept BGSU. I'm guessing there aren't any other BGSUs.

I also realize some universities type-ins can be problematic since they are often only partially written out (e.g., West Virginia or Bowling Green), meaning the type-ins could mess up geographical type-ins too.

That's all that comes to mind atm.

Wouldn't that apply for Kansas as well?
