PAC-12 reaches landmark of 450 NCAA Championships

The Trojans certainly have reason to celebrate!

With all the immediate excitement of the championships going on right now, it's easy to overlook the bigger, long-time-coming achievements. And last week, PAC 12 made history by winning its 450th NCAA Championship.

PAC 12, or the Pacific Coast Conference as it was known then, began playing in 1916 between University of California (now Berkeley), University of Washington, University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State). In the 96 years since then, the schools in the conference have won a record-breaking 450 championships, the only conference to have done this. But, honestly, it's not that surprising since PAC 12 have had the most titles almost every year in the past half-century.

The honor of winning the 450th NCAA Championship goes to University of Southern California's men's tennis team. Men's tennis has won the most titles for the PAC 12 at 53 NCAA Championships (the men's tennis championships have only existed for 67 years).

Congratulations, PAC 12, and fight on, Trojans!
