When was the last time a school with a top football or basketball program had a Nobel prize winner?

It’s been a long time since the Nobel Prize was a barometer of smarts. By the way, getting a computer science degree from Bama requires building you own pre compiler.

Maybe a Nobel Peace Prize ... but in STEM fields I still think they're a decent barometer.

But in any case, you can just substitute your own metrics for academic reputation and see how these top sports schools stack up against other colleges and universities across the U.S.
