We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only $(2/pi + o(1))log{n}$ expected real zeros in terms of the degree $n$. On the other hand, if the basis is given by Legendre (or more generally by Jacobi) polynomials, then random linear combinations have $n/sqrt{3} + o(n)$ expected real zeros. We prove that the latter asymptotic relation holds universally for a large class of random orthogonal polynomials on the real line, and also give more general local results on the expected number of real zeros.
