Purdue ITE took home the title in Titletown, and they're going to the Big Show in Philly for the Annual Meeting (Could they go... ALL... THE ... WAY?!?!). Great work to them and great work to MSU ITE ITE UW-Madison Wayne State, University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University for putting up a heckuva fight.
