SUMMERALL AND MADDEN CALL DIVISION-III COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Wittenberg vs. Baldwin-Wallace
During the fall of 1982, in the midst of the NFLPA's 57-day players' strike, CBS needed to get creative with their Sunday afternoon programming.
So on October 3, the network sent Pat Summerall and John Madden to Springfield, Ohio to call Division-III Wittenberg's game against their rival Baldwin-Wallace — each school with an enrollment then of about 2,000 students.
Three other #NFL on CBS broadcast teams called Division-III games that weekend as well.
Both Wittenberg and Baldwin-Wallace, as well as the Ohio Athletic Conference, were paid $10,000 each for the game.
The video includes the CBS open and pregame introduction by Pat and John, the first several minutes of the game, as well as some select highlights from this historic CBS broadcast.
Certainly a very rare and fascinating broadcast — and I'm sure quite a thrill for those players, coaches, students, and communities.

“Why are you here?!"
A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.
“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”

Every Congress person gets 12 weeks paid parental leave as a term of their employment. We, the taxpayers, pay for their family leave, but they won’t vote to let us pay for ours.
DADS ON DUTY: After a violent week of fighting at a Louisiana high school, parents knew something had to change. So, a group of dads decided to show up not just for their kids - but for the whole student body - to help maintain a positive environment. @SteveHartmanCBS has more.
