Syndicated packages
- The Big Ten continued its in-house syndicated package, but changed broadcast teams and ended doubleheaders.
- Jefferson-Pilot had a new broadcast team of Kevin Slaten & Ben Bennett for the ACC. It also debuted its first split regional telecast for the final week of the season (a split had been planned for 11/7/87 but the Clemson-UNC game was picked up by ESPN). J-P had no ACC game on 9/10--it had planned to air #18 Penn State @ Virginia, but Penn State asked for J-P to pre-empt its Great American Independent Football telecasts in Pennsylvania markets to air the game there, and J-P declined. With every other ACC team either playing on the road or hosting a 1-AA opponent, J-P skipped the week entirely.
- J-P also continued its Great American Independent Football syndication package, which featured Army, Boston College, Navy, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, & West Virginia.
- Raycom continued its Southwest package and continued to split PBP duties between Ron Franklin & Phil Stone.
- Prime Ticket showed a number of additional games on tape delay. Its games also appeared on other regional cable channels such as the Sunshine Network, FNN Score, and Home Sports Entertainment.
- The MAC signed a TV contract with the Cleveland-based video producer and syndicator, Master Video Productions. Games aired in syndication and on PASS in Michigan.
- Jerry Falwell's FamilyNet cable channel produced and syndicated a Southern Conference package, for regional stations as well as FNN Score.
- Black Entertainment Television had begun airing games on a tape-delayed basis, sometimes as much as a week, in 1981. In 1988 it began its first live telecasts.
