A little trivia for Easter Topic

Happy Easter, those who celebrate it!

How many NCAA Division 1-A teams can you name whose team name does not contain a color AND does not end in 's'?

None, and that is the correct answer because I can't name any
4/20/2014 2:11 PM
Oh wait, Nevada Wolfpack.  So make it one.
4/20/2014 2:12 PM
OK, fifteen to go (that I can think of ...).
4/20/2014 2:45 PM
NC State, Navy, Marshall, ND,
I don't know if you are including basketball too or just football - UWGB, Hofstra, William and Mary.

This is all I can come up with. I love college sports and even went through a list of teams and I can't think of any more. I'm sure I missed some obvious ones but I am curious to see the others.

Stanford.
Although I guess you could consider Cardinal a color...

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (edit: missed this in trd's post)

Delta State Fighting Okra/Statesmen (Statesmen is their official mascot, although they call themselves the Fighting Okra and you almost never hear the official mascot used)

Other than that I think most have been named, although a lot of singular mascots I can think of all have a color in them (Bama, Dartmouth, UNT, etc)
