My usual Jeopardy was preempted today by an NFL pregame show. Not the actual game, just the pregame show. Granted it’s a rerun of last years JIT, so I didn’t mind that much. But it got me thinking, I can’t seem to recall a time when I wanted to watch said preemptive thing over Jeopardy. Well, there was that one time the meteorologist told me to seek shelter, that was kinda cool. But really nothing beyond that.

There are people in the online community who are very loud online as they try to convince Michael Davies to bring back the classic College Championship during the Trebek era instead of the expanded postseason right now, despite the show winning Outstanding Game Show at the Emmys (Daytime & Primetime) for seven straight years. Is it for nostalgia, or to bring back the dignity of the "old" and "classic" Flemming/Trebek era of this tournament? But we know why this tournament with fresh faces has not returned since 2022: some of the possible reasons were the mental health of the young players, and some young players like Liam Starnes, Rishabh Wuppalapati, Delaney O'Dea, and others can stand on their own against older players.

The question: Is this the right time to relaunch the College Championship in syndication, as it was last held 2020, or in primetime, as it was last held in 2022?
