Location: West Lafayette, Indiana (which apparently is the most densely populated city in the state), conveniently located across the Wabash River from Lafayette, Indiana.
Founded: 1869
Enrollment: 30,043 undergrad students
Conference: Big Ten
Nickname: Boilermakers
Yeah, Whats’ The Deal With That, Anyway? They came by it honest, to be fair. Being called the Boilermakers for their trouncing of Wabash College is basically naming a team the “Running Train” in modern-day lingo.
Better Nickname: Now I want to call them the Running Train so.
