Name the schools (7) that have had at least one player drafted in the top 3 overall of the NBA and NFL drafts since 1980. The schools come from the Big East (2), SEC (2), Big Ten (1), ACC (1) and PAC-10 (1). (All conference affiliations apply for both current conference alignments and when the respective players competed.)*
*There are actually nine schools that meet this criteria.

The two schools from the BE are still with the conference (how could Miami, VT, or Boston College have a top 3 basketball player drafted? LOL) so that narrows it down for you.

Syracuse, Florida, Ohio State, Duke, USC

UK Couch and Bowie for example
I say Michigan too

North Carolina....Julius Peppers and multiple basketball players (Jordan, Marvin Williams ect.)

Utah......Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut

Illinois.....Lawrence Taylor and Deron Wlliams

Kentucky...Tim Couch and Sam Bowie

Syracuse.....Donovan McNabb and Carmelo Anthony

UCLA....Eric Turner and Baron Davis

Michigan.......Braylon Edwards and Chris Webber

Alabama.......Cornelius Benner and Antonio McDeyess

As you can tell I looked some of them up :D

The other Big East team is Pitt. Bill Fralic football. Either Charles Smith (I think) or Jerome Lane for baskets.

Illinois is Williams and Jeff George.

Hometown kid... go Kevin Hardy! Seriously, what happened to him after his rookie season?

I'm a big Bengals fan and he was with them the past couple of years. He just got cut. He lost all of his speed so he was virtually worthless on the field.

Jeff George?!!
