here is flead intro....

The University of Florida has the most dominant athletics program in the country.

Business Insider has compiled a list of the schools that run the most dominating sports programs from top to bottom.

To create the ranking we used data from the last three years of the Capital One Cup (which ranks how well schools do in all sports each year), championships won since 2000 in the keystone sports of football, men's basketball, and women's basketball, revenue generated by the school's athletic department over the last three years according to the Department of Education, attendance in the keystone sports over the last year, and Niche's ranking of the best college athletic programs for students.

Florida Gators sports teams have finished in the top 10 of their sport 31 times in the last three years and have won four championships since 2000 in the keystone sports. They also rank eighth in athletics revenue and first in the Niche ranking.

I'm not saying we shouldn't make an effort in all other sports, but we have short-changed the programs that are most important.

Winning in tennis or baseball is fun for me only if the two primary drivers are healthy. No gymnastic title will ever make up for 10 years of bad football. And now we are starting from scratch in men's basketball because Foley went cheap with that sport too. Granted, I think coach White is working his ass off...but it will take him 5 or more years to build his name so that MAYBE he can recruit as well as Alabama and Auburn are NOW.

So all will have to forgive me for not bowing up over this recognition, it's hard for me to do so while my favorite football team is looking at a possible 6-6 record (fingers crossed for 7-5).
