re: GOATs of each major sport (college)

Leads to another talking point: who is the GOAT in all 3 major college sports (football, basketball, baseball) ?

As much as I'd love to claim GOATS for LSU in the major sports, we have some people in the conversation but...
Football - Hershel arguably should have won 2 and maybe 3 Heismans. Burrow and Barry Sanders may have GOAT seasons, but for a career they just didn't compare to Hershel.
Basketball - Lew Alcindor (Kareem) was a 3 time POY and won 3 national titles. Freshmen could not play varsity. You could argue Pistol Pete is in the top 3, but the GOAT is Kareem and this one is not close.
Baseball - LSU has 3 players in the conversation but you'd have a tough time arguing any would be above Barry Bonds, Dave Winfield or Robin Ventura.
