Boston University has no football (American) or baseball team (although baseball may be making a comeback). The interesting part about this is that BU's Nickerson Field was the home of the Boston Braves of the National League for a number of years, and hosted one of the first pro football games.
Hockey's the big sport, and the school has won a number of National Championships and had one national player of the year (Chris Drury).
Martin Luther King received his doctorate from the school - there's an odd statue in front of the school chapel in dedication to him.
I'll probably think of more as time goes on, that's all I can think of right now.
