National Championships
In their 106-year history of intercollegiate competition, the University of Florida's varsity athletic teams have won twenty-nine national team championships (including twenty-four sponsored by the NCAA, two by the AIAW, two by the BCS, and one by the Bowl Alliance), and its individual athletes have won 249 individual NCAA national championships. Florida is the only Division I school to hold both major men's championships at the same time (as the 2006 BCS football champions and the 2006 and 2007 NCAA men's basketball champions). The Gators men's basketball team's back-to-back NCAA national championships in 2006 and 2007 made the Gators the first "repeat champions" in men's basketball since the Duke University Blue Devils won back-to-back NCAA tournament championships in 1991 and 1992.

Famous quotes containing the word national:
“The religion of England is part of good-breeding. When you see on the continent the well-dressed Englishman come into his ambassador’s chapel and put his face for silent prayer into his smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride prays with him, and the religion of a gentleman.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
