Scools (Division 1) that have won National Titles in Basketball and Football? (1 Viewer)

[Jason Hughes]

We were having a debate about this at work. Supposedly there are only 4 schools to win the NCAA championship in both. That seems kind of low, but we could only name 4...Maryland (when?), Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State.

Is this correct? Are there more?

Thanks for any input.

I think we should keep the typo in the topic header... very appropriate.

What in Heaven's name is a Scool?

Maybe kids in School these days should have more studying and fewer sports. ;-)

 

[Richard Travale]

The thread title just reeks of irony.

 

[Jason Hughes]

Geez...enough already over a simple typo - although I can't complain too much, I sometimes cringe when I seen things like that. Can a moderator PLEASE correct my little goof.

Anyway, does anybody know the answer to the question?

Jason,I'm assuming sharing a Championship in football counts, if so add
Arkansas to that list 1964 in Football and 1994 in Basketball
and
Stanford-football 1926,bball 1942
I'm sure there are more than just 6 D1 schools with National titles in both sports
FYI one site says Maryland won their title in football back in 1953

 

[Shayne Lebrun]

Nope, changed my mind. It just wouldn't be right.

I'm pretty sure UCLA has won one in football (in the 50's or 60's I forgot) and of course 11 in basketball.

 

[Joseph S]

add California to the list as well

then go stuff your head in a snow bank. OK, eh

Tennessee Volunteers. Football: most recently, 1998.

Basketball (Women's): Many.

If you want to use a technicality in the initial question I'll add my alma mater to the list as well.
Notre Dame-
Football (http://www.ncaa.org/champadmin/ia_fo...st_champs.html )
Basketball (2001 Women)
Outside of Div IA Football, which does not have a true championship game, the NCAA does have a nice site for all others. UCLA, USC, and Stanford are destroying the competition with football out of the total. Denver and Colorado are 1 & 2 in "Coed Sports" so perhaps a South Park tribute is in order.

I wouldn't call it a technicality. NCAA Women's Basketball has a National Title game just like the men's. I'm pretty sure Jason meant men's only but I wasn't going to ask him to define what he meant; seemed we already had enough of that attitude in this thread.

 

[Tom Johnson]

I don't think Maryland has ever won in football.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I wouldn't call it a technicality. NCAA Women's Basketball has a National Title game just like the men's.

Maybe, but women do not play football.

 

[Joseph S]

Maybe, but women do not play football.

Tell that to Kathy Ireland.

Does 1953 still count? No wonder I couldn't remember it.
