It's weird how much schools that supposedly pay so much attention to non football sports literally know nothing about non football sports.

We are currently ranked or finished in the top 10 in
- Gymnastics
- Men's Swimming & Diving
- Softball
- Men's Golf
- Women's Golf
- Football


Florida is clearly #1, though, even if you weight it towards revenue sports.

Just shows you how much football is king. You know it, I know it, and the venerable niche.com knows it.
