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 Jason Gavadza and the Kent State link is rated Epic (+160 bonus points). Some daily puzzles even require a Kent State alum in your chain.

The rarest links

The players almost nobody names first, and the biggest bonus in a puzzle.

Players who attended more than one school appear on each school's page. Team lists count franchises, so earlier cities and names are included (Raiders in Oakland, Rams in St. Louis). Rarity tiers come from the same scoring The Chains uses in its daily puzzles.
