Schools with #1 Picks in two Sports

Kentucky joins UM on the list of 10 schools to achieve such a feat. I refrain from using the phrase "10 Athletically Elite schools" because MSU, OSU and ND also reside on the list and I have a hard time giving them credit for anything...
and utah somehow managed to do it in the same year!
this is one of my favorite useless sports facts.
a #1 overall in hockey? Guess all the uber good talent goes straight to the NHL instead of college....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_first_overall_NHL_draft_picks
Joe Murphy (MSU) went 1st to the Red Wings in 1986, and Rick DiPietro (Boston U) to the Islanders in 2000. According to wikipedia, these are the only kids drafted 1st overall out of college since 1963.
Michigan Hockey hasn't had a #1 overall....Their highest picks (I think) have been Jack Johnson to the Hurricanes at #3 and Aaron Ward to the Winnipeg Jets at #3....
Personally, I like the more exclusive (4 members) Super Bowl MVP QB / US President Club.
that have won NCAA basketball championship, College World Series, and mythical national championship in football (football source - http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/champions_national.html)
Michigan, Ohio State, Stanford and California.
Only 3 others have won both basketball and baseball (missing only football) - Arizona, Okla State (formerly Okla AM), and Holy Cross (there is bar bet winner for you)
Several have put together the baseball, football double without basketball, including LSU, Miami, USC, Texas and Minnesota.
Five have won football and basketball and are only missing baseball - UCLA, Syracuse, Florida, Maryland and Sparty.
hockey, to the list you are left with just Michigan. Though, if you count retroactive and non-NCAA championships awarded to Minny, they join us in that category from a few way early bball titles, the latest in 1919.
...done. Here's the list:
|
School |
Super Bowl MVPs |
President |

Tom Brady |
Gerald Ford |

Naval Academy |
Roger Staubach |
Jimmy Carter |
|

Ben Roethlisberger |
Benjamin Harrison |
|
Stanford |
John Elway Jim Plunkett |
Herbert Hoover |
You are missing a M Super Bowl MVP...
...read Super Bowl MVP QBs which is what BlueAggie said above. Still, you're right. Hard to believe I forgot Desmond. If you open it up to non-QB Heisman winners, does the list get less exclusive?
And I missed that it was a reply. My apologies Shoe.
and it's two schools
Michigan and Stanford
When you are chosen by the inmates of San Quentin and Alcatrez does that count as "Sports" teams?
has won the National Championship in Football, Baseball, Basketball & Hockey. Michigan!
