Is there an easy way to find college alumni in NBA/NFL?

I'm trying to find out which Ohio State alumni are in the NBA/NFL now. I know a few (Oden, Conley) but am trying to get a complete list. Any idea on how to do it? Thanks

    When I try finding alumni from a certain school--usually a good source is that school's media guide in each sport--most times they have PDF versions on the school's athletic website. Most schools like listing all the former and current Pro players from their school and make it easy to find.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    Beckett used to have a list of players that went to each school. It even included ones that went there and then transferred. I can't find it now but you might snoop around over there. From that list they, of course, sold cards of each player.

    Zep, that was one of the most fullproof links I've seen. Way cool! lol

  • For basketball: Basketball Reference
  • Don't really use the football site but I guess they have the same search: football
  • CBSsportsline.com does an excellent job of tracking this. It is always up-to-date as players are added or cut.

    What you do is go to the sport and find the team page. You can see this from the links I provided below. Once at the team page, you click on alumni on the orange tool bar and you get the up-to-date list.

    Ohio State Team page for Basketball

    Ohio State team page for College Football

    Hope this helps.
