In 1982, CBS was required by its $131.75 million contract with the NCAA to show four Division III football games that season. When NFL players went on strike, CBS decided to fulfill its obligation on one day. Four games were selected - UW-Oshkosh at UW-Stout, West Georgia at Millsaps, Baldwin Wallace at Wittenberg, and U. of San Diego at Occidental.
>> Reality Check: CBS wanted to show Division I games but was prevented by TBS who sought payment for rights by CBS or a two-year extension of an agreement on TBS telecasts of college football. Now, Turner and CBS have a 22-year partnership with the NCAA.
>> Worth Noting: #1 Widener (playing Muhlenberg), Bowdoin (playing Amherst) and Wesleyan (playing Tufts) declined to switch their games from Saturday.
>> The Big Picture: "This is the way college football was meant to be played." - Tom Brookshier, CBS analyst
