Using listings on college alumni who reached the NFL from http://www.pro-football-reference.com/colleges/ and other websites like Wikipedia, we matched each player's colleges-attended with a specific institution as designated in the federal IPEDS database. Some interpretation and error correction were needed because sometimes colleges merge, close down, change names, and share identical names across different states.
