About This Quiz
Whether it's a March Madness or a trip to your favorite bowl game, there's one college team that will forever have your loyalty. Every question you'll be asked in this quiz will help us figure out which one you love most, but we won't ask you directly about them. Instead, we're going to ask you about your love of sports in general. Will you give your favorite team away?ÂÂ
We're not saying that your taste in NFL teams has anything to do with your favorite college basketball team, but your answers will give us clues. Many people discover the college team they hold sacred through watching a major league draft, and some find them through being an alumnus. No matter how you found the team you prize most, the way you describe the athletes you respect and which ones make you scream at your TV can point us in the right direction.ÂÂ
It's a Wide World of Sports out there, but your passion for the game will carry us across the yard line of the right team's goal. At least, we think we'll come close to making a half-court free throw. Will we be able to figure out your athletic affection, or will we have totally missed the shot?ÂÂ
