KU's streak of 13 straight Big 12 titles, catapulting the Jayhawks to a staggering average of almost 33 victories annually over the last 11 years, enables Kansas to be atop the following list of schools with more than 25 regular-season major-college league championships:

• Kansas - 60 (13 of the 21 Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association titles from 1908 through 1928, 30 in Big Eight and 17 in Big 12)
