Stop reading the qualifying question on the air.
Don't even take the calls on the air. The call screener has the qualifying question and asks people for the answer when they call in. This will eliminate people who are ONLY calling because they know the answer to the qualifier AND people who just looked it up online.
You could make it even more efficient by having like 20 qualifying questions and just cylcing through them on EVERY call until someone got one right.
After a while, people who didn't know much about sports would be completely discouraged from calling because they'd have no chance to get the question right, meaning you're more likely to get someone on the air who has a broader knowledge base.
El Matador would probably even beat the typical "Sports Nut" six or seven times out of ten. But for me this game would be a lot more fun to listen to if the TOTAL morons weren't playing on the air anymore.
