re: SEC schools ranked #1 in both football and basketball (since joining SEC)

quote:

---

Every program but Vandy has achieved a number one ranking in one of the 2 sports at some time in their history

Did you by chance look at Sewanee an Tulane?

Pre WW II - the private schools could compete at the highest level
(no polls at the time tho you can look to)

Post WW II - the state schools with $$$ and bodies took control


Not only was Vanderbilt football good early on, but they were solid in basketball as well. Memorial was the biggest venue in the SEC (Charter schools) till UK built their Memorial later on. The one is still big but compared to the time it was built it was really big. I am old enough to remember the old CheckerDome in STL thinking it was big but looking back it would not be today.
