THE PACIFIC-10 CONFERENCE Setting the standard of excellence once again, the Pac-10 Conference captured eight NCAA titles during the 2009-10 academic year to tie with ACC for the most national championships of any conference. It marks the 10th time in the last 11 years that the Pac-10 has led or tied for the most NCAA championships won. In addition to the eight national championships, Pac-10 teams posted NCAA runner-up finishes 14 times. The Pac-10 men’s and women’s programs shared the wealth in 2009-10 as the Conference claimed five NCAA women’s titles, the most of any conference in the country, and three men’s crowns. Only nine institutions claimed multiple NCAA titles this year, with three of them being Pac-10 schools. USC was the only school in the nation to win three championship crowns. Stanford and UCLA each claimed two NCAA championships to join Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Penn State and Texas A&M. The Pac-10 has led the nation in NCAA Championships 44 of the last 50 years and finished second five times.

Pac-10 members have won 26 of the 41 NCAA titles in volleyball, 36 of the 41 in water polo, and 21 total swimming and diving national championships. On the women's side, the story is much the same.

Overall, the Pac-10 has captured 123 NCAA women's crowns, easily outdistancing the SEC, which is second with 76.
