How this plays in The Chains
A shared college is a link, just like a shared team, and every link is scored by how unlikely it was that a fan would name it. Connect two players through J.J. Huggins and the Alabama State link is rated Epic (+160 bonus points). Some daily puzzles even require a Alabama State alum in your chain.
