Of course I'm the Pro-Carolina regionalist so I'll be looking at the 10 FBS schools. This is based on biggest and/or most success in the sports played at each institution.
East Carolina
ECU is a Baseball school. The Pirates have 2 National Championships from their days as an NAIA program and on the NCAA side have made the Tournament nearly every year since 1999, only missing out 5 times in that span.
NC State
NCSU is a Wrestling school. On the mat, the Wolfpack have produced 7 individual NCAA National Champions including Sylvester Terkay who would have a brief stint touring with World Wrestling Entertainment. Wrestling edges out Men's Swimming/Diving by 2 National titles who are also individual.
Duke
DU is a Women's Golf school. Yes, the Men's Basketball program has had its share of success with 5 National Championships, but Women's Golf sports 7 with their most recent being 2019.
North Carolina
UNC is a Women's Soccer school. No other program at Chapel Hill comes close to the efficiency that the Heels Soccer squad has had on the pitch. They have 22 National Championships in total with 1 being from the AIAW and the rest from having joined the NCAA.
Wake Forest
WFU is a Men's Golf school. It's been a little while since the Deacs have had National level success, but they do have 3 National Championships as a team and 3 more individually, including PGA great Curtis Strange who won his in 1974, the same season the DD's won the National title as a team, too.
Appalachian State
ASU is a Football school. The Mountaineers have 3 National Championships at the I-AA/FCS level, but have since moved on to FBS where since becoming eligible to compete for a bowl spot in 2015 have gone bowling every year and have won every time, currently at 5-0.
Charlotte
UNCC is a Men's Soccer school. The 49ers don't have any National Championships, but the Men's Soccer team has made the College Cup twice, advancing to the Championship Round once.
Clemson
CU is a Football school. Just barely though and up until the end of the 2018 season it could still be argued that the Tigers were more of a Men's Soccer school with their 2 National Championships. Coach Dabo Swinney however persisted and now Clemson has the big 1 beside their name thanks to the Media and Coaches Polls a total of 3 times.
South Carolina
USC is a Women's Track and Field school. Combining Indoor, Outdoor, Team, and Individual, the Lady Gamecocks have earned a total of 29 National Championships. Indoor and Outdoor each have 14 Individual titles and won as a team on the Outdoor side in 2002.
Coastal Carolina
CCU is a Baseball school. The only National Championship I know of that the Chanticleers have won was the College World Series in 2016. They won that title as a Big South school and thanks to the calendar were officially a Sun Belt school the following day. That 2016 Chants team is the most successful Big South team of any sport ever.
