I searched for Wisconsin in the table and found that Maryland and Pennsylvania have University of Wisconsin alumni plates, which I found odd.
- It looks like the states that have U of Michigan plates are New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Texas, DC, North Carolina, and Delaware. - Nobody has plates for the universities of Illinois and Minnesota. - the only states with Indiana University plates are New York and Tennessee. - you can get Ohio State plates in Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, South Carolina, Delaware.
My understanding is that states will only make a custom plate if there are a certain number of buyers, so this is probably some weird function of where alumni tend to live, where alumni clubs are more active, and what those limits are in various states. But it's very strange that you basically can't get plates for those Midwestern flagship universities in the Midwest.
Searching for Georgia (because it's where I live): - Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas have University of Georgia plates. - Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, and South Carolina have Georgia Tech plates.
Virginia and Maryland showing up for Georgia Tech is interesting - perhaps engineers are likely to work for the federal government or companies that are near DC because they want proximity to the government?
