No school has won both the Heisman Trophy and the Naismith Award (Men's or Women's) in the same calendar year. However, Baylor has won both in the same academic year, with Robert Griffin III winning the 2011 Heisman Trophy (presented in December 2011) and Brittney Griner winning the 2012 Women's Naismith Award (presented in April 2012).
I would say Kansas University because that is where James Naismith is originally from. James Naismith created the game of basketball and that is why the trophy is named after him. The award is for the best basketball player in college basketball every year. I might be wrong so don't take my word for it about the Kansas University thing. It is just an educated guess.
