I think it's fairly accurate. But I do think a lot of big name or major universities go through years and years with similar situations where one sport is bad (football) while one is average (basketball for example) and one is good/excellent (baseball).
There are not many schools that are really good-to-great in the 3 major sports. Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, A&M, have been pretty good (off the top of my head).
A lot of teams like Texas, TCU, North Carolina, Clemson, Louisville, Michigan, UCLA, Baylor, Texas Tech, and so many other schools from the B1G, Big 12, SEC, ACC have done well in at least 2 men's major sports. Esp since the South is really good in Baseball (Big 12, SEC, ACC) or basketball.
But, there's the other side and it's not just Nebraska struggling.
Ohio State is usually bad in baseball and hasn't been too good in basketball.
Wisconsin doesn't even have a baseball program.
Indiana has struggled in hoops and football, and occasionally baseball.
Iowa somehow does slightly above average in all 3 sports - but not exactly great.
When Michigan State struggles in football, there baseball team isn't good, and it leaves everything up to basketball.
Penn State sucks in basketball and baseball. They can't beat UM or OSU in football.
Alabama has turned it's basketball and baseball programs around completely in the last 5 years and it's no longer just a football school. Which is really incredible.
I wonder if Nebraska could just get one major sport going good (I'm talking post season good) it might do wonders with the other 2 sports. I thought baseball would take us there but I was wrong. I hoped football and basketball would be a lot better, but to be honest - this next year 2 years will be very important for all three programs (Rhule, Hoiberg, Bolt). And I really like those guys.
