University of Kansas
The University of Kansas, founded in 1865, is the state's flagship public research university, and its men's basketball program, one of the most storied in the sport's history, was directly coached in its earliest years by James Naismith, the inventor of basketball itself, giving KU a founding-era connection to the sport unmatched by any other university. The university's pharmacy school and its journalism program have built strong national reputations, and KU's medical center in Kansas City is one of the largest academic medical complexes in the region, giving the university significant clinical research infrastructure beyond its main Lawrence campus. KU's Jayhawks basketball tradition, including multiple national championships and a continuous string of conference titles, has made the university's Allen Fieldhouse one of the most celebrated and intimidating home-court environments in college basketball, frequently cited among the sport's best atmospheres. The university's combination of Naismith's direct historical connection to basketball's invention and its continued championship-level basketball tradition has given KU an athletic identity uniquely tied to the sport's earliest history, a claim no other university in the country can make.
VS
Benedictine College
Benedictine College, formed in 1971 through the merger of two earlier Catholic colleges founded by Benedictine monks and nuns, maintains an active on-campus abbey and monastery, giving the small Atchison, Kansas college a level of direct daily monastic religious presence unusual even among Catholic colleges. The college's explicit commitment to Catholic identity and its core curriculum grounded in Catholic intellectual tradition have made it one of the most academically and religiously traditional Catholic colleges in the Midwest, drawing students specifically seeking that particular combination. Benedictine's enrollment has grown substantially over the past two decades, a notable trend at a time when many small religious liberal arts colleges nationally have faced declining enrollment, reflecting the college's success in attracting students specifically drawn to its traditional Catholic mission. The college's combination of an active on-campus Benedictine monastic community, its explicitly traditional Catholic intellectual curriculum, and its notable recent enrollment growth has made it one of the most distinctive small Catholic colleges in the Midwest.
