College coach vows to wear a Speedo on Selection Sunday if team stays undefeated

Every college basketball season has at least 1 mid-major program that comes out of nowhere and takes the entire sport by storm with a dominant regular-season run leading into March Madness.
This season has seen the University of Miami-Ohio Redhawks have their turn in the limelight, bolting out to a dominant 25-0 start and finding their way into the AP top 25 for the first time since 1999.
Much of this success has been due to fourth-year head coach Travis Steele, who joined ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday. GameDay host Rece Davis asked Steele about the Miami-Ohio men’s swim team wearing Speedos during home games.
“The first time it happened, I was absolutely shocked,” Steele said. “I told them after the game that obviously we really appreciate them doing what they were doing, and told them we would return the favor and show up to one of their meets, but we weren’t going to wear the Speedos though.”
Davis followed this up by asking Steele if he would wear a Speedo during Selection Sunday if his team could manage to make it through the MAC tournament undefeated, a wager that the Warhawks’ head man agreed to without hesitation.
“Done,” Steele said. “It’s done.”
