History

Historical Context

The 1984 Supreme Court ruling in NCAA v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma dismantled the NCAA's control over college football broadcasting, allowing individual schools to negotiate their own television contracts. This led to a boom in televised college football, with networks like ESPN broadcasting live games starting that same year, significantly increasing revenue and national interest in the sport.
