Since it's established that Alabama and LSU are 2 GOAT schools in SEC combining
Football, baseball and basketball achievements...
What other schools have lots to brag about combining the 3?
Besides the ones mentioned in the OP,
I would include the following that have had some success in the Big 3:
Stanford, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Houston, Florida State, Ga.Tech, UNC, Louisville, Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson, Oregon, Arizona, Georgia, and even Tulane.
BTW, if you're going to say LSU and Bama are 2 'GOAT' schools in SEC in FB, BB, and Bb, I would include Florida.
Actually, I would put them a little over Alabama.
While Alabama may have a stonger tradition in FB in the past and currently than UF, not so much in BB and Bb in the last 30 years.
Florida has accomplished much of their success
in the Big 3 just in the last 30 years, and BB and Bb in just the last 15 years.
LSU however, has had BB Final Four teams in 1953, 1981, 1986, and 2006; plus a mythical National Championship in 1935; 6 additional Elite Eights,and 4 additional Sweet 16s. We are in the Top 3 or 4 in SEC history in # of NCAA appearances and NCAA victories, SEC titles, and SEC Tourney titles. We have 3 players in HOFs - Bob Pettit, Pete Maravich and Shaq.
Baseball has 16 CWS appearances and 6 National Titles, all since 1986.
Football is 12th all time in NCAA victories, 8th in bowl appearances, and has had 3 National Championships and 5 others from other media, publications, indeces, and associations.
If you throw in track and field, LSU blows away both in number of NCAA National Championships, and is second in SEC history only to Arkansas in number of Total NCAA National Titles.

We are 3/4 in football all time depending on what metrics you want to use. We're no higher than 3rd but no worse than 4th.
Baseball we were the first SEC team to win the CWS and have had some moderate postseason success including a runner up finish as well.
Basketball we have a final 4 to our credit and one of the SEC's best players ever but not too much otherwise.
I'm not claiming a specific place in this little ranking, just saying what we claim.
