A co-worker and I were talking at lunch about what we'd do if we won a small lottery; small being $1,000,000.
I had my usual answer of taking a year leave of absence and travelling the world but she had a great idea that I really like.
She'd quit and go back to school to become a Jeopardy champion. She'd take geography, American history, world history, American and world politics, religions, basic biology, chemistry and physics, pop culture (movies, music, and TV), world literature, Shakespeare and a few others, all in an obsession to be a Jeopardy champ!
If I were a professor or dean, I'd make a four year program called Trivia Master Degree Program, and to get your Masters Trivia Master Degree, you'd have to win one Jeopardy game but for your PhD you'd have to win at least four consecutive games.
Take that Ken Jennings!
Check out this link here. Click on the one that says "Sean Connery, French Stuart, and Burt Reynolds -- Turd Ferguson; A Petit Dejeuner." I tried to find it on YouTube so I could embed it into this post, but I can't find it.

If I was a Dean, I'd implement your plan - but I wouldn't name it after Jeopardy - I'd be all about Win Ben Stein's $. We need that show back with Jimmy Kimmel in place. Now that was a game show (even if it didn't pay near what Jeopardy could and does).
Maybe to earn your masters, you would have to win Ben Stein's money, but your PhD would be Jeopardy.
BS's Money was a tough show.
