Cool idea! Constructive criticism, most quizzes with colleges allow "Kansas St" to be sufficient for "Kansas State" (and so on).

I'd suggest clarifying that this is US-specific in the title. I know it is stated in the description but when you see the quiz linked you cannot see that.

I also think that the "team" column should clarify that it is referring to sports teams. When I saw the word "team" in the context of universities, my mind went to research teams and I was rather confused about the weird names until remembering that some US universities have sports teams.

I think some of these type-ins could be a bit more forgiving. I didn't get most of them because I didn't realize I had to type "University" too.

I got to explore the reactor at Oregon State University back when I was a nuclear engineering major, was pretty awesome

Can you accept TAMU for Texas A&M? I grew up in Houston & it's extremely common to see it abbreviated as that :)
