UCLA is the first school with 100 NCAA National Titles

From the UCLA announcement letter....

Whether you call it a race, a run, or a roll, UCLA has now crossed a magical finish line and become the first university in history to win 100 NCAA team championships. It started in 1950when the men's tennis team won title #1. It culminated yesterday as wild, raucous cheering erupted when our women's water polo team defeated Stanford 5-4, making UCLA First To 100.

There's more. A few weeks ago, we claimed victory over the Trojans in the annual Lexus Gauntlet competition. In the six year history of the Gauntlet, neither athletic program had ever swept its arch rival in football, basketball and baseball in the same year...until now. UCLA so dominated USC in 2006-07 that the margin of victory was the greatest ever.
