To most people, Graceland is the former home of the King of Rock-and-Roll. To devoted fans of Elvis Presley, it is Mecca — a place where they can worship all things EP.
But to the people in the little town of Lamoni, Iowa, the name Graceland means Graceland University, a liberal arts college founded in 1895. The school is home to more than 1,100 students and offers degrees in more than 60 undergraduate programs.
And yes, like most schools, Graceland has a football team. Never heard of the place? Well, then you’ve never played against the Hunka Hunka Burnin’ Yellow Jackets. (Okay, it’s just Yellow Jackets.)
