If you had a college sports genie…

…what would you wish for? No matter how weird or impractical. I’ll start with a topical one: all of the First Four participants are 11 seeds, let all the 16-seed auto-bids get to the 1st Round automatically.

I would wish for a Miami, OSU, Pitt, and Penn State Final 4!

Miami beating Pitt in the Championship Game (7 OTs).

=>16 seeds don’t want the bye. They want a chance to win a game.

I would do the opposite: All First 4 teams at 16s.

Miami’s defense & Zatkoff to stop all goals with less than 30 seconds to go in the National Title game.

The proper UC is in Division III, and the more I see of today’s college athletics landscape, the more I think Robert Maynard Hutchins had the right idea.

Change everything back to the way it was before the days of NIL and the transfer portal. But let players transfer one time and one time only.

now get off my lawn. :evergreen_tree:

I would most likely go back and change the outcome of a certain NCAA tournament hockey game. Clear the puck, get an empty net goal.

Along those lines, I would retroactively abolish the offsides rule in hockey when the other team has pulled the goaltender.
