The Olympics, especially the winter ones. The meshing of culture, pageantry and competition always makes up for whatever controversies there are. But if we’re talking about annual events, probably the Pac-12 Tournament. It usually has little NCAA Tournament implications but is arguably more fun because it’s more economically accessible. It’s in Las Vegas every year, so fans can plan on it, and either drive there or buy cheaper advance-purchase plane tickets.
