A “single-minded obsession with basketball” at UNC?!
UNC has won 44 NCAA Division I team national championships in seven different men’s and women’s sports, more than Michigan’s 35 national titles. Quite impressive considering Michigan’s athletic department spends a lot more money, and Michigan has about 10,000 more undergrad students each year.
And unlike so many universities, UNC doesn’t give short shrift to their women’s sports teams. UNC women have won 30 of of the school’s 44 team national championships. UNC is one of only a few schools with more women’s team national titles than men’s.
UNC women are the most dominant team in NCAA soccer history, having won a whopping 21 national titles.
Only Stanford and UCLA have won more NCAA Division 1 team national championships in women’s sports than UNC.
Compare UNC’s 30 women’s national titles to Michigan’s paltry 2.
