That's a shame, you miss out on a lot of great athletic achievements.

Thanks for sharing**
ombandit • 08/08/24 03:12 PM ET
How is that possible since US has only won 95 total**
cricket77 • 08/08/24 11:40 AM ET
Many of the students are representing other countries.**
HOO86 • 08/08/24 11:59 AM ET
Yep usually their birth country. They often appreciate how good the USA is,
Stech • 08/08/24 02:04 PM ET
There are many non-US citizen athletes in the NCAA, who then compete for ..
TVLander • 08/08/24 11:59 AM ET
If the ACC was a country, they would be 3rd in the medal count,**
manassashoo • 08/08/24 10:43 AM ET
Very interesting!**
A3genhokie • 08/08/24 10:33 AM ET
Adding Stanford & Cal really helped!**
EDGEMAN • 08/08/24 09:16 AM ET
Yes, and especially Stanford
HOO86 • 08/11/24 05:38 PM ET
Strange that ACC gets credit for athletes that never actually competed in
wwhokie1 • 08/08/24 01:54 PM ET
SEC is getting credit for Texas
mrcaniac • 08/08/24 08:13 PM ET
As they should.**
EDGEMAN • 08/09/24 06:50 AM ET
So does the B1X and the B12...**
EDGEMAN • 08/08/24 02:05 PM ET
I'd like to see a breakdown by school.**
reestuart • 08/08/24 09:11 AM ET
I can probably do a VT and Other breakdown**
Vippie1 • 08/08/24 10:13 AM ET
More than half accounted for by Stan/Cal**
CrystalCoveHokie • 08/07/24 10:32 PM ET
If you put all the medal winners.......
2hhoop3 • 08/07/24 10:48 PM ET
Interesting take on the USOC comparison to the NFL.

NokieHokie • 08/07/24 10:53 PM ET
the dude from the Phillippines gets fee ramen and mac & cheese for life.
reestuart • 08/08/24 10:17 AM ET
very cool!
daveinop • 08/07/24 08:39 PM ET
Seems like they should count Pac-12 medals with the departing schools since
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 08:22 PM ET
Nope. Once we took them, baggage and all, they're now ours.**
EDGEMAN • 08/08/24 09:17 AM ET
What conference(s) were the schools a member of when the athletes attended
VTHokie2000 • 08/08/24 11:01 AM ET
Are you saying that Hacksaw Jim Duggan isn't a Legend of the ACC now?**
mrcaniac • 08/08/24 01:03 PM ET
Yes, because he will always be a Legend of the SWC.
VTHokie2000 • 08/08/24 01:35 PM ET
Agree, that would make sense !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 08/07/24 10:50 PM ET
I here you, but they are with us now.**
HOO86 • 08/07/24 09:17 PM ET
Probably would drop the ACC quite a bit.
LonghornHokie • 08/07/24 09:00 PM ET
True. My point is that the Pac-12 is kinda getting the shaft here.
Maroon Baboon • 08/07/24 11:48 PM ET
It will always be the conference of champions.**
reestuart • 08/08/24 11:35 AM ET
Yes! RIP Bill Walton ✌ ☮
Maroon Baboon • 08/08/24 12:13 PM ET
Yep. Such a huge loss to the world.**
reestuart • 08/08/24 12:50 PM ET
Those schools could have stayed in the Pac-12**
EDGEMAN • 08/08/24 09:17 AM ET
They have 30**
