ACC and Commonwealth National Championships
This list will probably need updating at the end of this year but this is pretty interesting stuff. Some surprising numbers in here. This is the list of all legitimate collegiate national championships won by ACC schools (in the first list) and Commonwealth of Virginia schools (in the second list). These are NCAA championships, plus AIAW, USILA, ITA and Football (not sure whether its AP or what) championships*. Much thanks to shakerhoo on TheSabre for posting these lists.

Some very interesting stuff there. UNC and Maryland really dominate and a lot of that has to do with the women's sports they've been so good at. Its interesting to see that of Maryland's 9 Men's Lacrosse titles, 7 of them were USILA, meaning before 1971. Our boxing national title makes me smile. I remember seeing pictures from the old matches when I was researching U.Va.'s history. I wonder where ODU got their dominance in Field Hockey from? I'll let the other elephant in the room speak for itself.
* - To explain the inclusion of the non-NCAA national titles here, I'll just quote what shakerhoo himself said when posting this list:
The AIAW governed women's sports prior to 1981, the USILA awarded National Championships in men's lacrosse prior to 1971 when that sport became sanctioned by the NCAA, and the ITA has awarded National Indoor Tennis Championships for over 40 years. All those are LEGITIMATE national championships. Anyone who thinks not, must also throw out all the AP, UPI, and USA Today championships in football, because those are not sanctioned by the NCAA either.
