The PAC-12 Has 15 NCAA Championships – Most of Any Conference

There have been 74 NCAA Tournaments. The first one was in 1939, won by the Oregon Ducks. That is their only championship, but it is one of 15 for the PAC-12, the conference with the most NCAA titles.

The ACC, SEC and Big Ten have double-digit championships, as well.

Here’s a list of every single NCAA Championship winner by conference.

There has been so much conference jumping and evolution lately. These winners below are assigned to the conference of their championship years.

For example, even though Louisville is a current member of the Big East, their two titles were won when the Cardinals were a member of the now-defunct Metropolitan Collegiate Athletic Conference.

A different kind of example is the case of the Kansas Jayhawks. They won two as a member of the Big Eight Conference, which became the Big 12 in 1996-97 with the addition of four schools. After that, Kansas won its third.

For more information on each of the conference’s NCAA Tournament performances (schools, W-L, Final Fours, etc) click on the conference below.
