The most important intercollegiate competition of 2004 didn't involve football, basketball, hockey, or baseball. It involved bacteria. The teams hailed from California Institute of Technology, Princeton, Boston University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Texas at Austin, a group of schools that might soon be known as the E. Coli League.
