With Stanford's national championship in women's swimming, the leaders in total NCAA team championships are:

119  Stanford
116  UCLA
108  USC
52    Oklahoma St.
50    Penn St.
46    Texas
45    Arkansas
44    North Carolina
43    LSU
37    Cal

At the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, UCLA led Stanford by 6 championships (111-105). In the 4+ school years since then, Stanford has won 14 championships while UCLA has won 5.

The gap between the top 3 and everyone else is a factor of 2!  And the gap between the top 3 California schools and the fourth Pac-12 California school is almost a factor of 3!  Why has Cal underperformed so much?

because it's Cal.
