Twitter follower Howard N. points out an interesting tidbit in the Wall Street Journal today.

OK, it was in the sports part. Phew. In any event, the Journal became curious about which college teams had the biggest differences between their football and basketball programs.
To find out, we surveyed the all-time winning percentages for every major-conference school, compiling a plus-minus for each school's football and basketball teams.
That sounds like a lot of work. What they found is that Nebraska has the most lopsided edge in football over basketball (no real surprise), while Kentucky has the most lopsided result in basketball over football (again, no surprise).
The intrigue for us, however, came at the end:
Strictly by wins and losses, Minnesota is the most balanced program in college sports, with the same win-loss percentages—to the tenth of a percent—in football and basketball.
