Unbelievable! Parity is still alive and well in college basketball.

I had to Google IPFW just to see what it was -- and I'm still not sure I understand what it is.

Indiana University Purdue University -- it's two, two, two universities in one!

No that's IUPUI. This is IPFW. Indiana University Purdue Fort wayne or something

I always see IUPUI and IPFW in the scores in my ESPN app. Always wondered what the heck. I flipped over to BTN and they looked like they have some players... I would guess it's comparable to us losing to ACU or Central Oklahoma, or something like that? Not sure how they compare..

They are in the same conference as Oral Roberts.

I thought IPFW was a root beer?

I just left off the Fort Wayne part (that's the only part I understood) -- the name of the university is Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne.

I stand by my previously stated confusion.

Skyview, the school used to be known as "Indiana University and Purdue University at Fort Wayne" - IPFW. They used to play in the same conference as ORU (Horizon).....I think. But now they are just known as Fort Wayne....yet I'm not sure if they have any remaining ties to Indiana or Purdue. So you're right, they used to be tied to 2 Universities. It's certainly seems to be an obscure academic setup.
