are you suggesting that "baseball" is our most successful athletic program at a&t? if so, how so? personally (without checking records), i'd say that our women's basketball and our women's bowling teams are our most successful athletic programs at a&t. after those 2 teams, i'd say track & field is next but would've been tops before coach ross left. but baseball? i don't see how baseball could possibly be our most successful athletic program, not even top 5 in my opinion... I’ll be more than happy to answer. Do a 5, 10, 15, 20 & 24 year analyses of player development per sport based upon the number of kids drafted into pro ball & signed to contracts & then playing pro ball from NC A&T regardless of sport/program. Hint: It’s not football. It’s definitely not basketball. It’s not men’s track and field, although we do have gold medalist olympians. Hint: Track the # of kids drafted and/or signed to pro contracts under: Keith Shumate Ben Hall Update: 2 Aggies are in major league camp and will either break spring training on the MLB roster or in AAA. THIS from a program with minimal support, minuscule student/alumni interest and support, a third-world home stadium, & in the heart of “powerhouses” with million dollar budgets at WFU, ECU, NCSU, UNC, Duke, UNC-Charlotte… what you've identified is "individual" post graduate success. mind you, there's several "levels" of pro baseball when you count the "minors". yet, we've also had plenty of former basketball and football players who played in professional leagues other than the nfl and nba. not to mention, baseball rosters are "larger" than basketball rosters and there's far more baseball rosters than football, so i don't think its a stretch to suggest that there's more "opportunities" to play pro baseball than most other sports. nonetheless, "individual" post graduate success is not the same as "team success". the baseball "team" itself clearly is not our most successful "team sport" at a&t. "to me", the most successful athletic program at a&t is not based on "individual" post graduate success. instead, its based on "team success". clearly our women's basketball program has been the most successful "team sport" at a&t for the last 15 or 20 years (ever since coach bibbs was first hired). no other team at a&t has been as "consistent" as championship contenders as our women's basketball program. and our women's bowling team has been a "top 10" ranked d1 program in the country "consistently" for at least the last decade or so, no other a&t team can boast that accomplishment. baseball is a different beast. there's about a "trillion" opportunities to play minor league baseball, baseball has roughly "40" draft rounds. whereas the nba only has "2" rounds and the nfl only has "7" rounds. so of course there's far more opportunities to play pro baseball than pro football and basketball...

I agree with oleschool on this one. The metric being used is apples and oranges...

If you engaging this on individual success which is an entirely different from team and program success. You have just as many players in professional football and basketball that made it to that level playing on unsuccessful teams. So you can't gauge the successfulness of a program based on that. Program success is Not based on individuals that you send to the next level but more so based on winning at the level you are competing in. And saying that I would say as far as winning stability over an extended period of time, it is women's basketball, women's bowling.
