College programs are often referred to as “basketball schools” or “football schools,” but rarely both. However, there are a few schools out there that have a very good pedigree in both.
Take Ohio State, for instance. The Buckeyes are near the top of the Big Ten when it comes to historical relevance and performance in both college basketball and football. Basketball may not be as consistent as the football program where it’s in the mix for some pretty big things on almost an annual basis, but OSU hoops holds up nationally well.
But what if you were to take the combination of both sports and see which college programs perform the best in the two revenue sports?
Good thing for us, the Fox College Hoops Twitter account did a little homework for us. It took the results in both sports since 2010 nationally and ranked the top ten in total winning percentage when combining basketball and football.
The results? I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you’ll like where Ohio State is on this list. Here’s how it all breaks down.
