Few people reading this will remember college football from the 1960s and 1970s. Let us call it BC, Before Cable. In those days, unless you had a local, usually UHF (What’s that you say? Channel 41 out of Norfolk, with the morning “Bungles the Clown” show just before hitting the bricks for school.), might carry a local broadcast of a game. It was usually school in a conference with enough money to pay for an occasional broadcast feed to local stations. Some weekends there’d be a UVA game or maybe North Carolina, but just one game, and always from the regional conference.
