In May of 2007, Businessweek ran an article entitled "MIT, Caltech — And the Gators?"

In what area, you ask? Well, these other universities are considered meccas of robust technology transfer operations. And now, it seems, so is the University of Florida.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone, of course. The University of Florida, after all, is the place that spawned the multibillion-dollar sports-beverage industry, with the invention of Gatorade® in 1965.
