During the 2006-07 academic year the Southeastern Conference became
the first conference to win the Division I National Championship in Football
(Florida), Men’s Basketball (Florida) and Women’s Basketball (Tennessee) in the
same school year.
Only the SEC and the Big East have ever won both the men’s and women’s
basketball titles in one season. SEC won both three times in 1996, 1998 and
2007. The Big East has won both twice in 2003 and 2004.
The SEC swept both the NIT and NCAA Tournaments in 2006 when Florida
won its first NCAA championship and South Carolina earned its second straight
NIT title. Only four conferences have won both the NIT and NCAA title, includ-
ing the Big East (2003), ACC (1992) and Big Ten (1979)
