1982 College Football Season
Regular season
Originally compiled by Jeff79:
- With a new TV deal signed in the summer of 1981, CBS joined ABC in sharing the network college football package. The networks generally alternated the early and late Sat aft windows. The NCAA later awarded a separate deal to Ted Turner's WTBS superstation for Saturday night games.
- On Sun 10/3 during the NFL strike, CBS provided a doubleheader of regional coverage of D3 games and used NFL announcers. By doing this, CBS was able to meet the TV contract requirement for D3 games.
- Grosscup worked with Jackson on two late season Arkansas games because ABC policy prevented Broyles (who was the Arkansas AD) from calling Razorback games.
- This listing contains two different announcers named Bob Murphy. The Murphy who worked ABC games was best known as a New York Mets announcer. The Murphy who called CBS games was a longtime Stanford broadcaster.
