Flugtag - Where are all the University engineering departments?

I had never heard of Flugtag until today.

Flugtag has been around since 1991, and I have had my head buried for most of that time apparently.

Flugtag is an event in which competitors attempt to fly in homemade flying machines.

The contestants usually fly off a 30 foot pier and directly into the sea.

Everyone gets a good laugh and hopefully nobody gets hurt.

I seem to remember now seeing something like this on Japanese television way back when...on a 'bloopers' show maybe.

What I am wondering here at TBOK is, "Where are all the university engineering departments?" 

Why isn't a Cal Berkeley or a Stanford or a Caltech involved in this and trying to lay claim to being the best Flugtagging center in academics? 

Maybe Red Bull has asked them to stay away.

I mean how much fun would it be if the things actually flew?
