There is a wikipedia page on "List of NCAA schools with the most Division 1 championships". They eventually rank schools by their own choice of "Total Team Titles" which adds to NCAA championships "Recognized Football Championships", AIAW championships, and those awarded by other organizations that were once NCAA sports. Makes me think an SC grad put the page together to get SC into second place. Archery doesn't make the cut, so ASU only gets to add 20 "other team titles". That sort of counting pushes the Ivies way up, as they excel in obscure sports and in the long-ago days when the NCAA didn't dominate the scene so much. Cornell gets 70 "other team titles", most in forms of rowing.

Hmmm. The authors seem to have made some arbitrary choices about what to include. For example, they count equestrian, synchronized swimming, and women's badminton, but not sailing, women's lightweight rowing, or men's or co-ed badminton. I'm not sure why.

That page gives Stanford 116 national championships. But our athletic department claims 124 championships. I would take all these numbers with a grain of salt.
