What does these colleges have in common... Samford, Georgia, Marshall, Illinois State, Murray State, Cincinnati, UTC besides the same sports?

Your question is unclear. Stanford and the others may all be higher education insitutions in the United States. I am not sure of UTC, because I don't know what the letters indicate (Utah Teachers/Technical College?).

I hope this helps a little. If not, repost your question in more specific terms. Thanks for asking.
