LSU, Ohio St. and Florida are the only schools in the nation that put a premium on excellence in every sport. They're just attractive schools all around.
Don't forget about Louisville, right now they are the most balenced in all 3 sports of any school this past academic season.

This is an interesting point and I have to agree...I am trying to think if there are more that are that prominent although I guess Florida would have to take the cake in this particular race...
We are a wash with OSU because we dominate in baseball, and they in basketball - FLA has all three right up there nearly every year.
I think UT was there at one point, but it has been awesome to see their decline.

That's not really a fair statement. Plenty of schools out west like UCLA and USC have had success throughout their history in the big 3 sports. Plus significantly more success in smaller sports. Schools like Florida State, Louisville, Miami, and UNC have also had ranging success throughout the spectrum of sports. If you're going to ignore LSU's recent basketball futility then you need to give other programs a pass for recent struggles in other sports as well.

Not really. Look at the Big 12. Kansas State, yes KSU, is the current conference champions in football, basketball and baseball. There are a lot of schools out there succeeding in multiple sports.

Don't forget about Stanford, LSU is not ranked in the sears cup which rates every institution on how they produce in each sport.

I wouldn't go that far. Other schools do far better at supporting Olympic sports (i.e. swimming, gymnastics, tennis, softball, volleyball, etc.) than we do. On the other hand, that's likely part of the reason why we run a profit, and don't have to spend taxpayer dollars on LSU sports.
