 Traditionally, "Midnight Madness" events are held to celebrate the first possible moment of the season to hold an official practice under NCAA rules. The event doubles as a pep rally for the respective program. At Columbia the event instead is held the night before the first game of the season, and was never held at midnight, making it more of a traditional pep rally.
