And it could happen soon, as in the 2013-14 college basketball season. Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis is working on it.
The details aren’t finalized, but here it is: Next year on Veterans Day weekend, there will be four — count ’em, four — games taking place simultaneously at Cowboys Stadium, site of the 2014 Final Four. The games will begin 15 minutes apart and be held side by side (by side by side) in the giant facility. The purpose is to simulate the madness that takes place during the first week of the NCAA tournament. Only instead of the games taking place in four different cities, they’ll be played in one town, under one roof.
“We’re going to squeeze everything into a three-hour time period,” Hollis told me. “We’re talking with eight institutions right now that have a very high interest and have that weekend open, and we’re going to partner with the 12 [military] bases that are around Dallas, so we can make it a celebration for the guys at Fort Hood and others.”
I’ll go ahead and take credit for this. As always, you’re welcome, and I love you.
