      No West Virginia? In the last six years they have three BCS Bowl wins in football and in basketball they have a Big East championship, two sweet sixteens, an elite eight and a final four. Gimmee and break with your Villanova, Missouri and Memphis.

      Maybe cause of what you just said they are dominant in the small sports, and good in the major sports, btw. It's the best SPORTS PROGRAM, not the best sport programs that we see on tv

      Are you guys smoking something? You did not even include Texas A&M University on the entire list. Look at all the conference championships, as well as national championships, they have won in recent years. The fact that you included schools like Villanova and Memphis and did not include the Aggies shows this list does not hold much weight.

      texas is best bc they have arguably the best program ever in football and baseball. bball is a natl contender, vball has been to back to back natl championships. Track and field plus swimming is churning out olympians. natl ranked in soccer, golf, among other sports
