College Football on TBS
originally aired on TBS
TBS became the first cable network to nationally televise college football on cable in 1982. In 1984, the NCAA's television rights model for college football violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, thus allowing individual schools to sell the television rights to their home games. In 2002, Turner Sports reached a sub-licensing agreement with Fox Sports Net, broadcasting a package of Pac-10 and Big 12 games through 2006. In 2024, ESPN announced that it had sub-licensed a portion of the College Football Playoff broadcast rights to TNT Sports from the 2024 season.
