USC National Titles

USC has long dominated the world of intercollegiate athletics. In fact, it could be argued that Troy was the "Collegiate Athletic Program of the 20th Century."

Trojan men's teams are tops in the nation in NCAA championships with 73 - more than any other university. And the football team has been voted national champions 11 times. Overall, USC's men have won 86 national team titles.

USC has won the National Collegiate All-Sports Championship--an annual ranking by USA Today (previously The Knoxville Journal) of the country's top men's athletic programs - 6 times (1971-72-74-75-77-80) since its inception in 1971.

USC's women are also a force, with 20 national team titles, all since 1976.

From 1959-60 to 1984-85, USC put together an amazing streak. In each of those 26 years, at least one Trojan team won a national championship (including five crowns in both 1962-63 and 1976-77).

Here's a list with the coaches of the winning teams.
