Let's play another round of Batter's Box Trivia. The usual rules -- (1) no looking up answers online or in books; (2) right answers can be confirmed by any roster member or by a link to the page containing that correct answer; (2a) make sure your link to the answer comes AFTER you provide the answer so rule #2 doesn't contradict rule #1; (3) be the first to provide a correct answer to a question and "win" the right to ask the next question (and maybe a cuttlefish, too). Let's get started with a hard one ...

No less than 15 American colleges/universities have sent enough pitchers to the big leagues that their alumni list surpasses a total of 500 career MLB victories. (Sorry, Wake Forest at 499, you don't make the cut until Dave Bush wins his next decision.) Bucknell is probably the biggest surprise at 563, but then Christy Mathewson had 373 of those by hisownself.

However, just three schools have alumni who have combined for at least 1,000 wins ... and in recent years, all three have been better known as college football hotbeds. Name these three schools.
