Ranking Football Conferences by Academics

And when you consider the fact that the California schools are the only REAL competitors at sports like water polo, sailing, rowing, fencing, synchronized swimming, SQUASH, tiddlywinks, war, gin rummy, etc., those national championships aren’t so stellar.

<p>Um, SQUASH?? California schools are about as dominant in squash as Ivy League schools are in surfing.</p>

<p>The only schools that have ever won national men’s or women’s squash titles are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Trinity (a NESCAC liberal arts college in Connecticut). Trinity squash is probably the only Division III sports program that can compete for national championships against Division I opponents. </p>

<p>[correction: one other school, Navy, won a handful of men’s squash titles in the 1950s and 1960s]</p>
