UCLA is the only college to produce finals MVP's in three major sports

UCLA is the only college to produce MVP winners in the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, and World Series. The university has produced notable athletes such as Troy Glaus, Troy Aikman, Bill Walton, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is the only college in the United States to have produced MVP winners in three major sports: football, basketball, and baseball. UCLA's notable athletes include Troy Glaus, who won the 2002 World Series MVP with the Los Angeles Angels, Troy Aikman, who won the 1993 Super Bowl MVP with the Dallas Cowboys, and Bill Walton and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who won NBA Finals MVP awards in 1977 and 1985, respectively. Glaus batted .385 with three home runs and eight RBIs in the 2002 World Series. Aikman threw for four touchdowns and 273 yards in the Cowboys' 52-17 win over the Buffalo Bills. Walton scored 20 points and grabbed 23 rebounds in the Portland Trail Blazers' series-clinching win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Abdul-Jabbar won the award twice, first with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1971 and again with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1985. Seven other colleges have produced MVP winners in two of the three sports, but UCLA remains the only college to have achieved this feat in all three.
