This is an experiment to see if the Wiki can be used to collaborate on a major data-gathering project for outreach. "Notes" should be used for outreach info that's not encoded in the other columns. Hopefully the page is self-explanatory otherwise. Matt Weiner (talk) 11:34, 5 February 2014 (PST)
Also, my criteria for inclusion on the list are "any place that grants bachelor's degrees and conducts classes at a physical campus in English." Thus, professional-only schools, community colleges, and online-only schools are not included, nor are exclusively French-speaking universities in Canada (I've never heard of Mexican quizbowl and I assume all universities there speak Spanish, but feel free to add any in that prove me wrong). There are probably a few schools that fit my definition and aren't here, so add them in as you find them. Matt Weiner (talk) 11:42, 5 February 2014 (PST)
What is "high water mark"? Cody Voight
- That's supposed to be like "4th place at 2009 ICT" or whatever the best thing the team ever accomplished was. It's for a slightly tangential purpose than outreach. Matt Weiner (talk) 12:31, 5 February 2014 (PST)

Ended up cutting the "high water mark" column - I think that it'd probably get very cluttered if this table ended up more populated. We could certainly bring it back without too much difficulty though.
I split the list into has/has not played quiz bowl, though I have only done a cursory scan for schools that have played. I wrote a short Python script to alphabetize the rows - I can't exactly recommend that other people do the same (though it is convenient) but if you guys move rows around you can give me a shout and I can reorder them, so don't worry too much about that. -Kevin Wang (talk) 09:16, 15 March 2021 (CDT)
