I think we have so much overlapping of schools in the same town would be better off working together as a hybrid like Delaware and Galluadet could be.

Detroit Mercy and Wayne State can merge to make a hybrid. Wayne State-Mercy would get Detroit Mercy a better deal as Wayne State is an R1 institute with football. Endowment is better as well.

Wilberforce and Central State, Ohio

IUPUI and Indianapolis which IUPUI could drop IUPU to become University of Indianapolis.

Alfred and Alfred State is another one

Daytona State and Bethune-Cookman Daytona State is a CC in Florida which could become a four year school.

Jacksonville and North Florida could merge and football be brought back.

Gallaudet is in DC, almost 2 hours from UD.

A lot of these mergers don't really make that much sense to me. What good does Jacksonville and North Florida merging do? They're different schools that attract different students. Just because they're in the same city doesn't mean it makes sense for them to merge.
