Co-Ed championship meets ......... No thanks.
Keep the NCAA championships separate. It's part of what makes the NCAAs exciting.

Co-Ed ChampionshipsThe prospect of co-ed meets took two steps forward – one large, and one small. The small step was made in Division I where the committee endorsed the concept of a co-ed swimming and diving championship. The committee stopped short of fully sponsoring a proposal until such time as a suitable facility could come online. There have been discussions that the NCAA, the Indiana Sports Commission, and Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) could work together towards renovations to the storied IUPUI facility.
The big step forward came in Division III where a combined meet will be held in 2009. A shortage of bids for two consecutive weekends, combined with the availability of the University of Minnesota for a combined meet, led the committee to the decision.
Serious question here, how does keeping them separate make them more exciting?
Because it's such a bang-bang affair the way it is now. Finials are quick and to the point. You don't have time to get bored! Doubling the total number of events would make the meet lose that element.
