I'd like to know what makes a community college "not a real college". Considering it's the only college with sports teams inside the city of Harrisburg, I think that makes it notable. --myselfalso 20:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geographical sports templates include NCAA schools only, not even NAIA ones. Every city has a community college, and those schools are not recognized as "junior" colleges. This is because they're not actual colleges.

However, community colleges are recognized by state governments, and do receive state funding. HACC was founded combining Hershey Junior College into the Harrisburg campus of the college in 1964. There is a community college conference for Eastern Pennsylvania. While using NAIA as a reason why CCs shouldn't be included is valid; calling CCs "not actually colleges" is factually incorrect. HACC, for example, is accredited by the Middle_States#Commission_on_Higher_Education. --myselfalso 20:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
