Oozeball

UConn OOzeball has been recognized three times by Sports Illustrated: In 2011, in an effort to curb the Spring Weekend partying and violence, the University declared that all University-sanctioned events were to be held the weekend before the traditional date.

Officially, this was in part due to a late Easter falling during the "real" Spring Weekend.

However, temperatures in the upper 30s forced the event to be cancelled early, with at least nine students experiencing hypothermia.

Since 1989, students, faculty, staff, and alumni at University of Texas at Arlington have competed annually in an oozeball competition, with proceeds helping to fund student scholarships.
