Colleges with the most NCAA national championships?

Hey folks, I'm trying to figure this out and keep hitting dead ends. Which colleges hold the record for the most NCAA national championships across all sports? I'm an all-around sports fan and hope to not just participate, but also to soak in as much spectator sports as possible in college. Thanks in advance!

Indeed, there's something uniquely exciting about supporting your school's teams, whether on the field, court, or rink. The information you're seeking widely depends on whether you are considering Division I, II, or III schools, and if you're looking at men's, women's, or combined championships. However, let's focus on Division I for now:

1. Stanford University -- Stanford holds the record for the most NCAA national championships. As of today, Stanford has amassed more than 100 national championships across all sports.

2. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) -- UCLA also boasts an impressive sports program, and they've netted a significant number of national championships, though slightly fewer than Stanford.

3. University of Southern California (USC) -- USC is another university with a strong history in college athletics, securing a considerable amount of titles.

These are definitive powerhouse schools when it comes to their sports programs. However, sporting success can vary by specific sport, so if you have a particular sport in mind, the schools that dominate might differ. For example, Duke University and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill have well-respected basketball programs, whereas University of Alabama reigns supreme in college football.

Moreover, athletic prowess isn't everything – a strong sense of school spirit can make sporting events just as enjoyable, if not more so. Many colleges that aren't perennial sports powerhouses still have thriving athletic communities and enthusiastic support from students and alumni alike.
