(Davis is a Vet School, and one of the best on the West Coast). Berkeley and LA have teams because they have rivals across town (Stanfurd and the University of Spoiled Children, AKA Watts U), and they've been around longer. The CSUs all have teams that play in different divisions, because they have a greater breadth of majors to draw from, even though most of the players are in some kind of sports-related major. You won't find too many engineers on the football or basketball teams.

Being a UCSD alum I thought I'd correct that. UCSD does not have sports teams because 50% of the student body are pre-meds who are too busy for sports because they are cutting each other's throats to get the volunteer jobs that will look best on their resumes for med school, and the other 50% of the student body are crunchies exploring their inner lesbian through Oppression Studies or some such thing.

This way, they are able to hide 4 or 5 extra players on the field every down. Idaho Spud, that was very informative, I especially like your take on the importance of sport.
