I asked for, and received, this list from a MSU Ambassador:
Goldwater - 64
Fulbright - 25
Rhodes - 10
Truman - 9
Udall - 8
Mitchell - 2
Marshall - 1
Gates-Cambridge - 1
Compares well to athletics:
50 individual national champions
14 team national champions
6 men's rodeo
3 football
2 women's rodeo
2 rifle
1 men's basketball
Looks like a good balance to me.

MSU - 16 team National Champions (most recent 2024); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Thank you for posting this great information. Speaking of rodeo, I visited their website for the first time just the other day. What an eye opener. The team is huge! The Chute Boss Club is very active and raises monies necessary to provide support including scholarships. I encourage everyone to take a look. GO BOBCAT RODEO!

Winning at wild cow milking has to be better than losing at it.

This may sound naive, but where do you find a wild cow

And don't say "the zoo". I've been there, their isn't one.

Heck almost any cow can be harassed enough to get them mad and wild to provide for a dangerous and entertaining wild cow milking contest. Some breeds are more naturally wild, the Saler breed is one that is pretty high strung. Think of the bitchiest female you know then add in a good dose of PMS and you have your average Saler cow attitude. Of course that cow weighs over a thousand pounds so it is more than a handful to handle.
If you're looking for someone with a little authority, I'm your man. I have as little as anyone!

Wild cows are usually range cows that don't get handled. They obviously don't milk a Jersey milk cow in the contest.
