Frequently Asked Questions
Which NCAA programs are on the wheel?
The wheel includes Alabama, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan, Notre Dame, Kansas, Texas, Ohio State, UCLA, Clemson, UNC, LSU, Florida, Gonzaga, Oklahoma, and Syracuse — covering both major college football powerhouses and elite basketball programs.
Who is the winningest coach in college football history?
Nick Saban retired in January 2024 with 292 career wins (including 6 national championships at Alabama alone) and is widely considered the greatest college football coach of all time. Before Saban, the record belonged to Joe Paterno of Penn State with 409 wins, though his record was later vacated for several seasons. Bobby Bowden of Florida State finished with 377 wins.
Why is Kansas special in college basketball history?
James Naismith — who literally invented basketball in 1891 — was Kansas's first head coach, serving from 1898 to 1907. He compiled a 55-60 record, making him the only coach in Kansas history with a losing record. The school where basketball was essentially born has since won 3 national championships and produced dozens of NBA stars.
What is the 'Christian Laettner Shot'?
In the 1992 NCAA Elite Eight against Kentucky, Duke trailed 103-102 with 2.1 seconds left. Grant Hill threw a full-court pass to Christian Laettner, who caught it, turned, and hit a 17-foot turnaround jumper as time expired to win 104-103. ESPN ranked it the #1 moment in college basketball history. Laettner was the only non-NBA player selected for the 1992 US Olympic Dream Team.
How dominant was UCLA under John Wooden?
John Wooden coached UCLA to 10 national championships in 12 seasons (1964-1975), including 7 consecutive titles from 1967 to 1973 — a run that is universally regarded as the greatest dynasty in college sports history. His record of 88 consecutive victories still stands. Wooden never recruited illegally, never paid players, and is considered the greatest coach in American sports history by many analysts.
