When I'm not busy solving knotty problems in topology, I'm creating knotty problems for crossword solvers.

This new meta-puzzle might bring back (traumatic?) memories of one high school class for some solvers - and I promise it's not math this time. The solution to the meta will be posted in the comments in a week or so.
The meta answer is an alliterative phrase for people who might enjoy this puzzle.
It's been a bit of a while since I've posted here, so welcome back to Knotty Grids! To mark the start of a new semester, here is a meta-puzzle called "Academic Transfers." The meta answer is a site of higher learning. You can submit your answer using the Crosshare interface below. Solutions with explanations will be posted next week.

Apparently there was some kind of sportsball thing yesterday? I find these things confusing. Anyway, here's a metapuzzle. The meta answer, which has two words, can be found in both the U.S. and Canada.
Solution will be posted on Sunday, February 18.
Note: The easiest way to submit and verify your meta answer is using the Crosshare interface below, after completing the grid there. If you solved the puzzle on paper (which is highly recommended), you can just use "Reveal Puzzle" to get directly to the meta submission.
After an entertaining and slightly ridiculous 15 minutes of fame back in the fall, this is my first new (meta)puzzle in a while! This one is hosted over at Muggle Meta Mondays, a weekly metapuzzle that's run by the XWord Muggles Forum. Many thanks to Peter Abide and Al Sisti for running the puzzle and for their really helpful feedback. I think it's roughly a Gaffney week 3, but as my undergrads can tell you, I'm not always so good at judging how hard things will be. Feel free to email me if you have the answer or if you want a hint. I'll post solutions on Sunday, May 1.
And if you enjoy doing metas, I highly recommend the MMM!
Here's a meta-puzzle to work on while you're digesting your turkey and not arguing with your relatives like usual. It's probably a Week 3 or 4 on the Gaffney scale. Feel free to email me with the answer or if you need a hint.
Stay safe, everyone!
The meta answer is a name on 2010s TV.
