By and large, the two biggest money-making sports in college athletics are football and basketball. At a place like Ohio State, the football program brings funds a lot of other sports, programs, and activities of the athletic departments. Second to that is hoops, where OSU has its own significant tradition.
However, when you look across the landscape of college athletics, it’s hard to find programs like Ohio State that have a rich tradition on the gridiron and hardwood. They are out there, but historically speaking, there are not too many that hold a candle to the Buckeyes when looking at both sports.
But it’s not every year of course. Some seasons are much better than others, and there are also other programs that do well at both in any given year.
