Some college-basketball fanatics got vasectomies right before the March Madness tournament so they can take their time off for recovery during the TV hoops fest, a report said.

Men in Iowa used a clinic that sponsors a sports-radio show to schedule the procedure to coincide with the tourney, according to Iowa’s Gazette newspaper. “It seemed like a great combination because you’re supposed to be on the couch for a few days,” said patient Tony Brokens.

A urologist at the Iowa Clinic said the first round of the tournament “represents that perfect three or four days that you need for recovery.”
