We’ve all heard the cliché as old as time: “Texas A&M isn’t a school, it’s a cult.” From time to time, I’ve heard my alma mater (Penn State) receive cult accusations as well.

But putting my devotion to the mighty and majestic Nittany Lion (all hail) aside: what actually makes a team “cult-like”? How does a school cultivate such a culture?

For bonus points: besides A&M, what school screams “cult” to you, and are you fond of schools with high “cultiness”?
