Of course, just updated it so it should take "Washington University" or "WashU" or "WUSTL"

The type-ins could be more lenient in my opinion. Like Miami for University of Miami, Ohio for Ohio State University, Boston for Boston University, Virginia for University of Virginia. I'm effectively typing university almost 100 times. I get it when there are two like Pennsylvania, that you don't want people to get freebies, but apart from that it would make this quiz very much more enjoyable if you didn't have to type so much. Wisconsin Madison doesn't even work for University of Wisconsin-Madison!
