Across all sports
4 men's tennis 2 rowing 2 men's soccer 1 baseball 1 men's lacrosse
Not too shabby. Especially if they add a basketball

Actually they don't

The ones I listed are just the past 10 years.
They have 25 national Titles in their entire history. But what's impressive is the spread of sports. Many schools have 1 sport where they rack them up (like Arkansas track or Penn State wrestling) but UVA has more versatility than probably any other school

That's not my idea of "across all sports". That's 5 minor sports just a notch above the coots success in equestrian and bass fishing.

Sports is impressive. 2 of which would be the "major" sports.
Bass fishing and equestrian are not NCAA sports. Not comparable

Have you seen the size of the teeth in a coot coed? NAY!
Wait, those are fake, dang you meth!

Lacrosse...that's a car, right? Right?

When I lived in Alabama, I was surprised at how successful Bama was at things other than football. Gymnastics, girl's softball, and several other sports. They seemed to take their sports seriously. Not sure if they match UVA's success, but they were always competitive in almost every sport they played.

Alabama is impressive as well

they have national titles in gymnastics, softball men's and women's golf in the past 10 years.
And you're right that they do support them. Gymnastics at Alabama can get over 10,000 sometimes and they pack out the softball field for most games.
Some schools like Iowa and Oklahoma State can get 20,000 plus to wrestling duals.
Just because you don't hear about these sports as much nationally doesn't mean they aren't a big deal

dominant than their women's program yet the women's program produced the best pro player (Collins).
