    University of California College (sound close enough to be confused with UCB, or UCLA)

    Pacific Christian University (nothing looks better than selling religion in a for profit college).

    University of the West Coast.

    I've always liked the Victorian names that Dickens used . . .
    The Wholesome, Friendly, Hygienic, and Prompt Delivery Baking Company

    Substitute "University" for "Baking Company"

    I once did a catalog parody in the name of Catatonic State University. Its motto, rendered into bad Latin, was "Cheap Fast and Easy."

    I believe every dead president has been taken other than Nixon.

    There's a thought. What would the team name or mascot be for Nixon University?

    University of Albany? It ought to be taken, if you ask me....

    But seriously, I'd pick the largest city in NCU territory that doesn't have a "University of cityname" already, then set up an office there, and go nuts.

    Forget cities... how about a state?

    Is there any U.S. state or Canadian province for which there is no "University of name"? I seriously doubt it, but if so, that would be a great one.

    Good idea Steve.
    University of Minneapolis.
    University of Milwaukee
    University of Des Moines.

    On the other hand, they started a school in a remote village where there was a Bridge over the river Cam, and it did OK.

    I note that of the five Podunks in the US
    http://www.placesnamed.com/p/o/podunk.asp
    there are two in North Central territory -- although none, to my surprise, in Iowa.
