Also, this is why I prefer to count by NCAA titles, not overall titles. Otherwise Arizona State would be considered the top athletic program in the nation, by the numbers. And that's just
. That's just for having dominant teams in basically two sports (archery & badminton). The sports, BTW, were dropped from varsity status at ASU in 1993.
As for football titles, I only list the major ones. I discounted the National Championship Foundation, among others, because it went back and selected MULTIPLE champions per year.
Yeah, that's not gonna cut it in my book.
