UConn
Illinois
Iowa State (on double secret membership status probation, non voting, asked to leave the room often to allow the men to talk amongst themselves)
Purdue
Kentucky
LSU
Maryland
Michigan State
Minnesota
Missouri (allowed to sit in on all conference dealings, but voting status can be pulled at the discretion of conference dictator for life Kirk Schulz).
Nebraska (Harvey Perlman gag order during all discussion about divisional alignment)
Rutgers (Honorary Ron Prince Love Sweepstakes Wheel of Fortune night every Wed during media weeks.)
Ohio State
Oregon State
Penn State (mandatory pedo-bear film sessions)
Clemson
Tennessee
Texas A&M
Virginia Tech

Friends, join me below in helping determine divisional breakdown and conference name.
-
Is this all the land grants, or just the ones you want in the conference?

Nebraska (Harvey Perlman gag order during all discussion about divisional alignment)
During which he sits in the corner with an actual gag, possibly a leather hood, with a dog collar held by Mr. Love Sweepstakes himself.

If you notice, only major universities are being considered. IE - no "small colleges".
I bet Idaho and Montana have some little schools that may wanna join up with you guys though.
:cheers:

I feel like KState should be in the conference. We are land grant and it only makes sense if we're only going to play teams from the land grant conference.

The majority of land grant schools were the result of the revision of the Morrill Act creating schools for Blacks. Schools had a choice of allowing blacks to integrate like K-State and Iowa State (first Black to graduate was George Washington Carver) or allow schools to be created like Langston instead of that school like OSU (then Oklahoma A&M) or Southern instead of attending LSU.
This brings up a point that I have pondered on all my life. I remember in 1974 as a young kid watching Condredge Holloway run back on the field after being knocked out of the game against UCLA. Wow a black quarterback playing for Tennessee. I remember watching Charles Alexander punish defenders while at LSU in the mid-70's, while always realizing just a few years earlier, the SEC was fighting tooth and nail to keep blacks off their teams. While at the same time, the K-State, KU, ISU, Nebraska, etc. welcomed and honored their black athletes.
Do yourselves a favor young 3-5 star athletes:
1) Honor the struggles of your parents, grandparents, great grandparents, etc by showcasing your talents at the Div I schools that honored your family members. Show your true power by turning the college basketball and football world on it's ear by attending the schools mentioned above and showing the world you as a young black brother are a difference maker. Read Dr. Richard Lapchick's books and really know what's going on:

add okie state and ditch havs state

Though Hawaii isn't all elite, they would be a nice add from some great away trips, as well as fun cannon fodder within the tough schedule.

I have to admit, I thought it was spam at first; but I didn't see any reference to Thomas Sabo.

Wikipedia:
A land-grant university (also called land-grant college or land-grant institution) is an institution of higher education in the United States designated by a state to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890.
The Morrill Acts funded educational institutions by granting federally controlled land to the states for them to develop or sell to raise funds to establish and endow "land-grant" colleges. The mission of these institutions as set forth in the 1862 Act is to focus on the teaching of practical agriculture, science, military science and engineering (though "without excluding ... classical studies"), as a response to the industrial revolution and changing social class.[1][2] This mission was in contrast to the historic practice of higher education to focus on an abstract liberal arts curriculum.
Ultimately, most land-grant colleges became large public universities that today offer a full spectrum of educational opportunities. However, some land-grant colleges are private schools, including Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Given the rise in alternative energy, increased engineering practices, and overall number of students capable of being educated, our beloved Land-Grants have grown tremendously in the last 20 years. The days of simply being cow schools are done folks. :cheers: to our beloved Land-Grants being well-rounded, multi-faceted institutions of higher learning.

Can you imagine the string of confy 'ships we'd have if our main competition was Cornell, MIT and Flood Aggy!?!?
