Its using pretty much anyones math who has ever been awarded a national title by a major service.

 

[iambruce]

is women's basketball a major revenue producing sport?

Well its definitely 3rd.

 

[VOLNBAMA]

no way Women's basketball is 3rd.

Yeah, nothing screams National Champs like those given by services that no longer exist and nobody paid attention to when they were in operation. Long Live Dunkel!

 

[BlueHalo]

Women's bball is definitely 3rd. Not even close.

 

[hatvol96]

no way Women's basketball is 3rd.

I'd love to see how many women's programs are making money. I bet it's no more than 20.

There were also years when we should have won them and didnt. Such as 1950? i believe

Dont be stupid. and 4th isnt close.

There are a whole lot of places where baseball makes a Hell of a lot more money than women's basketball. A bunch of them are in the SEC.

Well considering that even less than 20 athletic programs are making money id say thats pretty good.

Yeah those CSS contracts are worth so much more than ESPN.

So what? I'm pretty sure they don't hand out hardware for "Shoulda Been" National Champions.

Im not sure they handed out hardware for most national championships. But they did award tennessee 6. That we claim.

 

[tvolsfan]

Are any of our titles retroactive?

Either way, Kentucky's 1950 title, and Alabama's 1941 title are probably worse than anything we claim.

Also women's basketball shouldn't be included with the other two sports. It's not in the same league as far as competitiveness goes.

Tennessee hasn't been awarded six football national championships by any of the major services.

I'd be shocked if any schools other than UConn and Tennessee are in the black.

To be fair, it's not like UT is alone in claiming those titles. 1940 and 1967 may be a little more of a reach, but I don't have a problem claiming 1938 and 1950.

If I have the word bama in my name I would never jump into a discussion about the validity of national championships. Haha

How many titles does Bama claim?

I think there are more schools that make a profit off ice hockey than those who make a profit off women's bball.

 

[bamawriter]

How many titles does Bama claim?

Bama claims 13, 8 of those came from major selectors.

I was going to ridicule you for criticizing Tennessee when Bama claims 13, but I realized you were just responding to his comment about major services. Carry on.
