What's the deal with New York?

[RavennaAl]

I'm not much of a college fan, but something just occured to me. Where's the New York universities? The largest city in our country, and I couldn't even tell you what school is there. LA has UCLA and USC, Houston has Houston, San Diego State, San Jose State, U of Miami, etc. I know that in the state of New York there's Buffalo and maybe Syracuse???? But what is in New York city?? Over 19 million people in the metro area and they can't even have a college with their name. Just seems a little odd to me.
