I found this website which seemed quite helpful for the World Series MVP, but I dont see any LSU players in there. (the college they attended is in their profile if you click on their name) http://www.baseball-almanac.com/awards/aw_mvpw.shtml

well i just spent the last hour looking for the answer, but found nothing. I now know that Washington State had a World Series MVP and a Super Bowl MVP, but no NBA final MVP. USC had a World Series MVP and a Super Bowl MVP as well, but no NBA MVP for them either. And UCLA has a World Series MVP and an NBA MVP, but no Super Bowl MVP.


So close.... yet so far away. :)

The University of Cincinnati may have only two (Sandy Koufax, beisbol, er, I mean baseball and Oscar Robertson, NBA).

Just a wild guess. :)

Neither of which happened after 1980. ;)

I'm guessing Aikman starting at Oklahoma and transferring to UCLA was the tricky part.

Eventhough Junipero Serra High School has produced three professional players in football and baseball only, it has two Super Bowl MVPs (Lynn Swann and Tom Brady). Barry Bonds is the third one, yet he had not garnered a World Series MVP. He had been the NL MVP several times.

I am wondering if there is a high school that had produced MVPs in respective championship games(MLB, NFL, and NBA) similar to Sonny's question. Would it be easy to answer this question or would it take time to find out the answer? That is why I had to highlight "am wondering" because I do not have the answer.

Wonder if any other school has ever been done in the past? Probably not as there are only five schools to have won national titles in football and basketball (ever).


1 victory down for UT last night. 3 more to go.

Good job!
In that same time period, what schools have produced multiple Super Bowl MVP's?

Jake Scott too. I know as a long time Dolphins fan. Did Fran Tarketon win an MVP with the Vikes?
