Is it really that hard to figure out why more schools claim a football tradition over basketball?
As far as the short list of teams that claim multiple NCs in both sports, Michigan State is the one that sticks out that could possibly consider itself both.
Of course football is more popular, and the schools love it because filling 70,000 stadiums is somehow more profitable than filling 16,000 seat arenas... but, the NCAA tournament does use football stadiums for 3rd round games and some conference tournaments. Let's not be ridiculous.

That is all fine. But when some get ancy when we talk about how the amount of "basketball schools" can be counted on one hand maybe we can link to your post or something?
