"Jumping into the new arms race in college sports – schools battling formassivesponsorships – UCLA has landed what is believed to be the biggest shoe and apparel deal in NCAA history.

The 15-year, $280-million contract with Under Armour was scheduled to be announced at noon Tuesday, university officials told the Los Angeles Times."

UCLA must have one of, if not the, largest number of varsity sports in the country. They play freakin' everything. Good deal for UA.

Notre Dame's deal included stock.

"Swarbrick noted that it allows the school to take some of the cash in company stock."

Plank said. "We don't have to invent any new history. We don't have to tell any new stories. Notre Dame is quite simply Notre Dame."

280 million to just one school yet athletes can't get a decent monthly stipend for their efforts. shameful.

UCLA has 23 varsity sports. In comparison, Notre Dame has 25. Ohio State and Stanford have 36, which is the most I believe. Alabama only funds 21, and Texas has 20.

Stanford has a higher percentage of varsity athletes as part of their student body than any other D1 school in the country.

I must admit, that really surprises me. I would have guessed UCLA was closer to Stanford.

As far as Stanford goes, scheduling has got to a real hassle in some of those sports.

The FSU Flying High Circus has been around since 1947. Pretty cool extra-circular activity if you don't have a fear of clowns! ;)

There are some amazing student-athletes that participate in the circus in the big top. I recall some world records being broken on the highwire and the trapeze back in the day. Also, the gymnastics were absolutely amazing and some went on to the Olympics. Getting tickets and going to the circus was a big deal and it was a great evening of entertainment. Great memories.

Alice, BTW, If you are ever in the Tallahassee area see if you can somehow get tickets (not easy). I think you would love it.........pretty amazing.
 
Just curious........how many of those have beach volley ball?

Only 68 NCAA schools have beach volleyball as a varsity sport. UCLA, USC, Washington, Oregon, Stanford, Cal, Utah (starts next year), Arizona, and ASU are the PAC 12 schools in that group. Nebraska is the only Big Ten school.

Stanford will pass UCLA in the near future for highest all time NCAA championships by school.

UCLA has 113, Stanford is listed at 109 (I thought they had 110) and ND has 16.....
