(I don’t understand why Cy Young was not on the list.

Technically my question (post #58) has not been answered correctly:

Name Five Division I College Institutions that do not have ‘University’ in their name

Cal Tech is not a Division I school.  
Va Tech is technically Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

VMI, The Citadel, and Boston College qualify, but there are at least 4 more, one of them is my Alma Mater (also in the ACC) and the other three are have something very obvious in common.

Seriously, you should have to check your answers after you type them out but before you submit the post. I’ll append Georgia Tech and the College of William and Mary.

Carry on.

**Reticulating Splines** I appreciate your help.  
**Notfrommensa** , you asked a question but you were not specific.

I asked for clarification, but was given none. I answered your question with three of the correct answers.

You chose not to accept The Virginia Polytechnic (and University) for your own anality.

I also submitted, as an alternative, The Air Force Academy. I thought that one might surmise from that, that you can get to The Naval Academy and to West Point. I suspect you’re a jarhead.
