Wikipedia wrote:The island is geographically unusual since it contains one of two tiny pene-exclaves of the state of Delaware, which is created by the Delaware-New Jersey land border crossing the northern tip of the island, an area that is completely cut off from the rest of Delaware across the Delaware River to the west, and has no road connections to it. New Jersey is separated from Delaware by the Delaware River except for these two areas, which has a land border. The only land access to this exclave at the north tip of the island is from New Jersey.

I think the answer needs to be revisited, because of Artificial Island.

I guessed that right. It's probably harder if you reverse it - Duke football vs ND basketball.

Let’s see… guessing Adrian Dantley, Austin Carr. LaPhonso Ellis? Vs Daniel Jones? That’s all I got.

Sounds like it's more of an opinion from Rutgers, because while it was formed prior to the answer I'm seeking, it did not become a land-grant school until the 1860s.

I don't want to be a dick and answer a second time but I'm a gonna because I also just read David McCullough's book about the settlers of the Northwest Territory and it occurs to me that it could also be (and this would be ironic given Sabo's answer) but the University of Ohio?

OU isn't a land grant university. Ohio State holds that distinction for Ohio.
