[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

University of Miami.

Florida.

Florida State.

North Carolina.

Louisville.

UCONN for hoops.

Miami and FSU for football.

[MattFancy]

LSU

UCLA

Wake Forest

Texas

Oklahoma

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

However your choosing. We can convolute the categories and say how many players have made it at one particular school or we can just say which school has done better producing the vast majority.

[JMURedskins]

Football

LSU

Texas

Bama

Georgia

Ohio St

USC

Miami

Florida

Florida St

Notre Dame

Oklahoma

I feel like all of these have a lot of NFL players

[HailYeah]

For basketball, no school has produced more quality NBA players per draftee (or least amount of busts) than Wake Forest.

[No_Pressure]

Everybody forgets Penn State

[SauzzBozz]

Basketball

North Carolina

Wake Forrest

UCLA

UConn

Georgetown

def have to be amongst the tops even though I am sure there are others as well.

[JMURedskins]

Everybody forgets Penn State

I was thinking about Penn St and forgot to put them on my list.

Ole Miss has a lot of NFL players for a team that really hasn't been competitive most years.

Pipeline to the NFL? Big states, schools are key

• NFL teams have selected 136 Hurricanes, more than any other school. Florida State (125) is second followed by Tennessee (120), Ohio State (116) and Notre Dame (115). Miami takes advantage of homegrown talent — 66% of its draft picks are from Florida.

• Think the best football is played in the Southeastern Conference? The SEC, now 12 teams strong, leads all conferences with 754 players drafted. The Big Ten and Pac-10 are second at 649.

[BurntToast]

Ohio State

[ACW]

Ohio State

NOT the most overrated school.

[DCranon21]

Michigan in both basketball and football. More football lately than basketball.

[Toe Jam]

The schools that don't really give a rip about the academic performance of its athletes.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Maryland.

Pittsburgh.

Duke.

University of Miami.

Florida.

Florida State.

North Carolina.

Louisville.

Michigan State.

USC.

These are just the school I can name off the top of my head this morning.

What do you mean by successful? Like sticking around at the end of the bench for multiple years? Or being an all star at least once? Or being a flat out star?

Michigan in both basketball and football. More football lately than basketball.

Rich Rod should be killing that off soon enough. I can't stand that guy.

[Thanos]

Grambling had over two hundred players drafted.

[hkHog]

Last year Duke players made more money than any other college alumnus in the NBA so they are the most successful.

Please don't remind me of Rich Rod :doh:. What a buffoon.

[RocketCitySkins]

Auburn should be on the list. There are currently 36 former Auburn players on active NFL rosters.

[Enzo]

NBA: UNC

NFL: Miami w/ FSU a close second

[bishtw]

How bout University of Phoenix or DeVry University?

[Kosher Ham]

EDIT: For NBA All-time the top ten would have to start out with UCLA, after that Kansas and Kentucky would have to be there along with Carolina and Duke.

Arizona and Indiana got to be up there too. Maybe even St. Johns.

[zoony]

Football, all time (off the top of my head)

Alabama

USC

Ohio State

Michigan

Notre Dame

I betcha that's the top 5 (maybe not in order)

They did? Was it because of Brands new contract?

I think if you're talking about money, its one thing. Quality of pro is something different.
