Fred,
What's the best way to go about requesting an addition to the list of favorite teams available under account settings? I made a request on the SECRant's help board to no avail.

I see both Wyoming and Colorado on the drop down. Not sure if I'm missing some inside joke. Anyway, if Penn, Columbia, and Duke can have an icon, why can't Cornell? We have more undergrads and a larger alumni network than those schools.

They are a favorite team option, but don't have an icon.

Because the admins have bigger, more important items to attend to, rather than adding icons for FBS schools?
That's my guess.

This is the School logo with the deepest connection to its state. It is a shame it doesn't have its own logo here on the greatest sports website in the world.

The Bucking Horse and Rider (BH&R) is a registered trademark of the U.S. state of Wyoming. In 1936, Wyoming trademarked the image for the state's license plates. However, the state's usage of the logo is traced back to as early as 1918.[1] Wyoming is popularly known as the "Cowboy State," in part because of the use of the bucking bronco as its symbol. The University of Wyoming at Laramie athletic teams are nicknamed the Cowboys and Cowgirls, both of which use the bucking horse and rider logo on their uniforms.
Uniforms for the Wyoming National Guard serving in Europe during World War I featured the horse and rider symbol. First Sergeant George N. Ostrom of E Battery, 3rd Battalion, 148th Field Artillery Regiment (United States) 91st Division, AEF is credited with designing the insignia. According to references in military records of the 91st. Division, Ostrom manipulated a horse into the Army named Red Wing which he had bought near Crow Agency, Montana into the Army remuda with the assistance of Army Horse Purchasing Officer Chester Cotton of Sheridan. Once the soldiers and the horse reached the post outside Cheyenne, Major Louabaugh selected the horse as his mount only to have it start bucking when the two bears used as mascots entered the parade ground. Chester Cotton and George Ostrum were detailed to remedy the horse's behavior, but Ostrum used his memory of the event to win a slogan contest for the unit once in Europe. The horse Red Wing survived World War I and was retired to a stable in France.
The concept that the horse in the image was Steamboat is thought to have developed with familiarity with the famous bucking horse near Cheyenne and the fact that few civilians actually saw the event pictured by Ostrum. Incident was documented with citations in the book Where Rivers Run North by Sam Morton (Sheridan Historical Society and 91st Division archives). The slogan "Powder River - Let Er Buck" was used as Red Wing bucked with the Army major, and was taken into the trenches as a password and counter password by troops from that unit in Europe. Descendants of those soldiers are still serving with the Wyoming National Guard in 2014.[2]
The silhouette of the horse and rider is still in use today on uniforms of the Wyoming National Guard soldiers. The historical record is unclear if, as some claim, the horse and rider represent the legendary rodeo bronco "Steamboat," the "horse that couldn't be ridden."

Why'd they take the time to create icons for any school besides SEC and major national programs in the first place then, great guesser? Look at some of the schools on that list.

Because most were done before the mobile version, before boards were added left and right, before the split of the SECR and the team boards added there. Saints were added for the Super Bowl, USA was added for the WC 4 years ago.
Lots of development over the last few years, that's what I'm basing my guess on.
Stop whining, and calm down.
ETA Maybe the ones there were readily available at the time, and the ones that aren't weren't.
