Why stop at football?
National championships
Penn State has won 64 national team championships all time[10], 36 of which are NCAA championships.[11] The 36 Division I NCAA championships ranks eighth all time, trailing only UCLA, Stanford, USC, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, LSU, and Texas. Penn State has the most national championships of any Big Ten school. Most of the women's championships prior to 1982 occurred under the auspices of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). The NCAA did not start sponsoring women's championships until the 1981-82 academic year. Some of the men's championships occurred prior to the NCAA sponsoring a championship in that sport (for example, the NCAA did not start sponsoring a men's soccer championship until 1959) and some sports have never had recognized NCAA championships (such as Division I-A football).

Re: Why stop at football?
because no one cares 'bout those sports. Only other college sport of interest is hoops & UPS has not had anyone that could dribble & chew gum simultaneously since Lassie was a puppy......

Re: Why stop at football?
Penn State won a championship in basketball last year. Did Pitt win any? I don't think so.

Re: Why stop at football?
At least Penn State has a title to defend. What title did Pitt win last year?

Re: Why stop at football?
PSU winning the NIT is like one of our local high school football teams not making the playoffs, but their JV team goes undefeated. Maybe this year PSU can be invited to the dance.

Re: Why stop at football?
So what you're saying is, for them to be good in "varsity" they have to start somewhere, right?

No. I'm saying that doing well in a second rate tournament after not being invited to a first rate tournament is nothing to brag about.

Re: Why stop at football?
It is when you are putting more emphasis in growing your stagnant program.
Interesting that Pitt's bowl game versus Oregon State is treated as a step in the right direction.
