A jock-a-versity is an institution where the jockular values of athletics trump the life of the mind, where tailgating and the big Saturday game get more attention than academic pursuits.
Most universities today meet the definition of a jock-a-versity, especially the BCS institutions. They play athletics on a professional level, pandering to an undergraduate student body that values highly attending sports events and partying.

1. "I am tired of paying tuition to that joke-a-versity I attend." 2. "This university is so mediocre it is a joke-a-versity." 3. "I read Dr. G. Louis Heath's book ILLINOIS STATE JOKE-A-VERSITY. It registers his animus toward the university he retired from. Though pejorative, his use of the concept JOKE-A-VERSITY is refreshing."

The act of attending class by calling another cell phone that is present in the classroom while you are not.
I bought two cellphones so my friends can take one to my classes for me. I stay in bed and call the phone in the classroom to listen to the daily lesson. I guess you could say that I'm attending cell-u-lar-versity.
