  1. There are some inaccuracies in the championship count amongst institutions. Virginia State according to my count has 10. I couldn’t for the life of me find two more unless WVSU (two) were taken into account. Also you missed NCCU = 8, and VUU = 10

  2. You also missed that Hampton had 13 Football Championships. In addition, the CIAA was founded on the campus of Hampton Institute (now Hampton University).
