History

Historical Context

The 1984 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma dismantled the NCAA's control over college football television rights, violating antitrust laws. This landmark decision allowed individual schools to negotiate their own contracts, leading to a boom in televised college football and the rise of networks like ESPN, which now broadcasts numerous games, including 13 ranked teams in Week 10.
