This is attributed to Title IX, which says that a school must have as many womens sports as mens sports. Because of that, some schools have mens ice hockey clubs and are unable to participate in true NCAA level competition. And Chase, LSU has looked superb so far in the NCAA tournament. At the same time, a loss in the Elite 8 increases the validity of the statement that Texas is a premier sports school. Being in the Elite 8 means that you were one of the Top 8 schools in the tournament! LSU certainly ranks among the top group of sports schools as well.

LSU shut down TX like no ones business...Aldrige was 2- for however many useless shots he took. How can you say TX is a premier sports school? They lost.

I think that Michigan has to be considered the second best school for athletics. Along with consistent football and basketball programs, they have also excelled at men's hockey. Schools like Ohio State and Michigan State also back up their football and basketball programs with hockey programs. Boston College puts solid squads too.
