The 1938 Border co-championship follows NCAA historical standings. The school’s 2025 year-by-year guide labels 1934 a championship instead; this conflicting early recognition remains unresolved, so 1934 is not added. Division titles and regular-season ties after a championship game was introduced are not counted as overall conference titles.
