If we won a NC in tennis in 76-77, that would be #1;  77-78 would be #2;  2017-2018 would be #42.

Wonderful!  How long is the streak of years with at least one championship now?

Should be 41 years.  How do I know this?  My freshman year was 1975-76.  The best chances for a National Championship then were in Water Polo (only Men's back then) and Men's Tennis.  Unfortunately in 1976, the individual and team tennis championships were integrated.  There was a singles and doubles tournament, and each school got a point for every match won by their athlete.  So, the team championship went to the school who had players who went the deepest into the tourney.  UCLA won team title with Peter Fleming as their star.  The team concept (started with six singles and three doubles, so best of 9) came out in 1977, with a separate singles/doubles tourney later.  Stanford won that in 1977. with Matt Mitchell winning the singles title as well.  McEnroe arrived the following Fall 1977.
