Does anyone have, it may be a couple of years now, a graphic that showed how many national championships in all sports Penn State has won since joining the BIG compared to other BIG schools?

Thank you in advance.
 
This is not quite what you asked but Penn State leads all B1G schools in NCAA national championships by a fairly wide margin (excluding recent additions UCLA and USC):

Colleges with most NCAA Championships

If you look at the history for Penn State, the majority of the titles have come since joining the B1G. This data is from 2019 and does not include the 2022 wrestling NCAA title. So we may currently be tied with Oklahoma State for 4th.

One interesting comment was about UNC and women's soccer. Of course, what the failed to mention is the advantage UNC had by having the US national team's coach as their coach for much of that time. If you wanted to play for the US, you almost had to go to UNC. In those days Christie Welch of Penn State, who won the Hermann Trophy as a junior, barely got a look at the national team. There are other examples.
