Emmy award-winning college basketball broadcaster Billy Packer, who brought exceptional basketball knowledge to 34 Final Fours for NBC and CBS, has died at the age of 82. 🙏:
from 1960 to ’62. He was an All-ACC selection with the Demon Deacons in '60 and ’61, garnering NCAA All-Region honors in '62 as Wake Forest reached the Final Four.
Gradually, Packer found his way into broadcasting. NBC hired him in 1974, and he moved over to CBS when that network acquired the rights to the NCAA Tournament for $48 million in ’81. During his career, he became a widely recognized symbol of college basketball on television, and worked with many of the top play-by-play broadcasters of his era, including Curt Gowdy, Dick Enberg, Brent Musburger and Jim Nantz. In 1993, he received a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Sports Personality, Studio and Sports Event Analyst.
