Answer 1

easy, california by a longshot

NCAA Schools with the most Div. 1 Championships

1) UCLA 100 NCAA Div. 1 Championships

2) Stanford 94 NCAA Div. 1 Championships

3) USC 84 NCAA Div. 1 Championships

(next closest Ok. St. with 48)

CA's NCAA championships alone should be enough to win the best sports state, but if you want more reasons...

California has the most baseball teams, California has the most basketball teams, California has the most hockey teams

Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Athletics, and San Francisco 49ers are all historically successful franchises in their respective sports
