Fictional College Database
 

I'm trying to accumulate a list of fictional colleges and universities for current and future dynasties. I do fairly well creating them, but figure people living in other states might know of cities/towns or whatever that might lend themselves to a good storyline as home to a fictional college or university.

If so, share them here. Here are some I've been working with lately:

Scottsbluff State Lions (Scottsbluff, NE)
Southern Wyoming Storm (Cheyenne, WY)
University of the Rockies Explorers (Golden, CO)
Wyoming State Bushdogs (Casper, WY)
Yellowstone University Rangers (Cody, WY)
Yosemite University Mountain Jays (Mariposa, CA)
Keenesburg State Welders (Keenesburg, CO)
Central Colorado Roadrunners (Denver, CO)

I always wondered why Michigan had Northern, Central, Western and Eastern but not Southern. Stuff like this?






Southern Michigan University Oaks, Jackson, MI

or perhaps?

Charleston State University Charlies, Charleston WV

Yup, this is the idea.

Similar with Connecticut except no Northern instead.

Arizona

Grand Canyon University Badgers - Phoenix, AZ (Actually a real school that was going to start a D2 program and even had a coach hired, but pulled it last minute.

Page State Lakers - Page, AZ (People there need something to do besides Lake Powell)

College of Southern Arizona Vaqueros - Marana, AZ (Growing community near Tucson, nicknam spanish for Cowboy)

Casa Grande Scorpions - Casa Grande, AZ (Another growing community south of Phoenix and noted home of outlet stores)

Here are some for larger NC cities without a UNC-system college:

for Jacksonville, NC:
school name: UNC-Jacksonville/Jacksonville State (though there is already a Jacksonville State in AL)
mascot: Marines/Croatans

for Rocky Mount, NC:
possibility 1: Wesleyan College Battling Bishops (extant private school in D-III)
possibility 2: Rocky Mount State Millers (a fictional HBCU)

And the same for MI:

Oakland State Automators, Pontiac, MI
Warren State Carriagemen, Warren, MI
Grand Rapids College Carpenters, Grand Rapids, MI (private)

I have always wanted a team at Utah Valley University...they have a basketball team, baseball and such..but the board refuses to give them a football team because of competing with BYU for fans / attendance.

Forgot about this thread but bumping it to add these schools to their own conference for basketball.

Feel free to add others.

East Alabama Boll Weevils- Eufaula, Alabama
Gordo State University Circuit Riders- Gordo, Alabama

Cal State San Fernando Valley (i.e. Valley State) Hill Cats
Pasadena College Paraders
Palm Desert Rattlers
Santa Monica City College Commodores (Commies)
Hollywood Tech Stuntmen

A few days ago Florida approved a bill that got signed by the governor to make USF Poly a separate state university. So I'll create them too.

Northern Long Island State
Southern Long Island State

or abbrev. No Lil State and So Lil State

where you go to school, son? I go to So Lil State, B.

Trying to come up with a D2 powerhouse school that's going to move up from the NAIA ranks. Or from D3. Either way, this list is useful.

East Arkansas University, West Memphis, AR

Go River Dogs!

Sterling Heights Institute of Technology Kickers. (Sterling Height, Michigan)
