OP,
First Team Consensus All-American Total Selections: 25 (NCAA rank #4) The rank should be 2. needs to be changed at the bottom too where the total ranks are. GBB

As the Final Four last night ended with dUKe winning and getting past half-way to UK's NCAA title number...just a reminder...
I believe Wisconsin was in shock and awe on playing and beating Kentucky the greatest basketball program of all-time
and they let their guard down and didn't play well against Duke.
They got their superbowl win,but no National title.
Why is KY number 2 in decades with a title game appearance? Should be tied at 1 with three other schools.
unc cheat has been in the title game in 7 different decades . Kentucky has 6. Should be # 1 as soon as the ncaa vacates 23 years of cheating. Next year, UK can make a big move up in a lot of categories. GBB
Kentucky: 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1990's, 2010's.
UNCheat: 1940's, 1950's (when they started cheating), 1960's, 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's.
By the way, OP, "The List" is not anywhere close to being accurate right now, as I haven't had time to update it in weeks. I will try to do it this weekend. I'll let you know when I do. Thanks for your help.

UNC was in title game in fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties,nineties and the hundreds. What other decade? That is 6. I left out 1946. That is 7.

Who took the attendance title this year? Kentucky or Syracuse?
I need to update that part of the list if Kentucky got it this year.

Kentucky. "The University of Kentucky dethroned Syracuse University for the home attendance title after the Orange had won in back-to-back years in 2014 and 2015. The Wildcats averaged 23,361 while the Orange brought in 21,592 a game. Kentucky led the nation the previous eight seasons. The University of Louisville was third with 20,859 per game and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was fourth with 18,326. The University of Maryland, College Park, topped the nation with an increase of 5,169 more fans per game in 2015-16 to finish in the top five with an average of 17,863.
NCAA Championship Game Appearances: 12 (NCAA rank #1)
NCAA Final Four Appearances: 17 (NCAA rank #2)
NCAA Final Four Games Played: 28 (NCAA rank #3)
It is impossible that these are all true.
I'm too lazy to wiki, but not too lazy to math.
If you have 17 appearances in the F4 and 12 in the champ game, then you have 29 total F4 games played.
Furthermore, if you're #1 in championship games and #2 in F4 appearances, then logically, you must be at least #2 in F4 games played.
There's only one team who can possibly lead us in F4 games played, and that is the team that is #1 in F4 appearances, and only if their lead in F4s is greater than our lead in championship appearances.
I suspect that we've played in 29 F4 games. It would make all the other numbers work.
Champ games + F4 appearances = F4 games played
12 + 17 = 29.
Also,
Titles + Champ game appearances = F4 wins
8 + 12 = 20.

Someone take ownership, keep it updated, keep it at one post where no one can post on OT except for the owner, and pin it up top. Woot
NCAA Final Four Games Played: 29 (NCAA rank #3)
I think it is 29.
12 championship game appearances and 17 final four appearances is right.
Yes, alright, but then it's logically impossible that we're third if our rankings for champ game appearances and F4 appearances is true. We're second at worst.
So I went to count on wiki and looked at UNC, UCLA, Duke, and Kansas, the only other 4 who could be in that conversation.
We're ahead of the latter two, and UNC and UCLA both have 29.
So unless wiki has the wrong count for them, it's:
NCAA Final Four Games Played: 29 (NCAA rank #1)
