Life</a> Is But A Game: The Top Sports Schools (PHOTOS)</p>
<p>Wow, no Wisconsin? I’m fairly suprised</p>
<p>Student survey. Students are stupid.</p>
<p>“Student survey. Students are stupid.”</p>
<p>True. I would keep all 10 schools listed, but I would add Duke, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Penn State and Wisconsin.</p>
<p>Don’t forget Stanford. Winning the Sears Cup [best overall athletics] 15+ years in a row ain’t easy.</p>
<p>I’d say anyone who really KNOWS sports and isn’t biased would agree with this list.
Can’t think of another school to add over anyone on that list…</p>
<p>The only one that I might replace is UCLA, but maybe I just don’t know enough about them</p>
<p>I would certainly add Kansas for basketball.</p>
<p>UCLA is the winningist basketball program ever and they excel in a ton of other sports as well. </p>
<p>Kansas does have a great program, but compared to other basketball schools that didn’t make it, such as Kentucky or Duke, it doesnt even it doesn’t compare.</p>
<p>UCLA excels at one money sport. Wisconsin does it in three. Kansas also is a one note school as is Duke. Very few schools excel in three major sports (football, basketball, and hockey or maybe I’d allow baseball as that has major league potential and top college players get noticed.</p>
<p>There no way Notre Dame should be there. Where’s STANFORD?</p>
<p>barrons,</p>
<p>I don’t agree with the idea of looking at only “money sports”. But as far as money sports go, I’d think hockey comes after baseball. College World Series is well-televised on ESPN and more schools participate in baseball, I believe. I’ve never seen college hockey on TV.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, please. I’m a Duke grad, and very proud of my school and it BB program, but your statement is just nonsense. Read and learn:</p>
<p>Men’s basketball</p>
<p>Main article: Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball</p>
<p>The program has enjoyed considerable national success, having been selected Helms Foundation National Champions in 1922 and 1923, winning NCAA national championships in 1952, 1988, and 2008, playing in 13 Final Fours, and being regularly ranked in the AP Top 25 college basketball poll. Kansas ranks third all-time in NCAA Division I wins with 2,003 wins (as of March 31, 2010), against only 795 losses (.716 winning %, 3rd all-time). This record includes a 651106 (.860) mark at historic Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks are first in NCAA history with 91 winning seasons. They have had the fewest head coaches (eight) of any program that has been around 100 or more years. Yet, they have reached the Final Four under more head coaches (six) than any other program in the nation. Every head coach at Kansas since the inception of the NCAA Tournament has led the program to the Final Four. Kansas has had four head coaches inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame, more than any other program in the nation. A perennial conference powerhouse, Kansas leads Division I in all-time in conference titles with 53 in 103 years of conference play (the MVIAA Conference was created in 1907) through the 20092010 regular season. The Jayhawks have won a record 10 conference titles and a record 7 conference tournament titles in the 14 years of the Big 12’s existence. The program also owns the best Big 12 records in both those areas with a 18837 record in conference play and a 287 record in tournament play. In Street & Smith’s Annual list of 100 greatest college basketball programs of all time in 2005, KU ranked 4th.[6] With the regular season finale victory in 2007 over the University of Texas, Kansas won its 1900th game.</p>
<p>Yeah, Kansas is pretty good at basketball. I still think you have to be good at more than one major sport to be considered a “top” sports school though.</p>
<p>No USC or Stanford?
UCLA (106) holds the most NCAA titles followed by Stanford (99) and then USC (91).</p>
<p>I think USC should be on there…Stanford’s good at all the non-revenue sports. but looking at the top 4-5 revenue/crowd sports they really don’t belong. ND is over the hill, and I’m not too sure about Mich either. I think some more SEC schools need to be on there.</p>
<p>
You and I have very different interpretations of the word “excel” barrons. Wisco only “excels” at hockey and is rather mediocre in both basketball and football. It belongs in the middle of the pack in both basketball and football in the Big 10. </p>
<p>Only UF and UT-Austin truly excel at basketball AND football. Every other college in the country is either a one-trick pony when it comes to the two MAJOR revenue-producing sports or simply mediocre at both like Wisconsin.</p>
<p>UW has been to bowl games every rear since BB has been coach. It has a record of something like 40-14. Bowl wins over Auburn, Arkansas and Miami. If that’s mediocre most teams would kill for that.</p>
<p>Since the F 4 year of 2000 UW basktball has been in every NCAA and has a record of 217-82 with 3 B10 crowns. Hardly mediocre unless you are very warped. I believe combined only 2 other schools have as good or better F & B records in the decade. Since 2000 the b10 bball record is 107-43. Whose is better? Maybe 1 school.</p>
<p>All in a small state with very little instate talent UNLIKE Texas and Florida both of which produce many D-1 HS players. Winning at UT or UF should be automatic.</p>
<p>SI rated texas and stanford as the 2 best sports programs. i think that took into account more than just like athletic success too. stanford is decent at the revenue sports too though</p>
<p>Replace Notre Dame with Stanford and we have a winner.</p>
