Longtime college basketball commentator Billy Packer won’t call his 35th NCAA Final Four basketball tournament this spring. CBS announced that they will replace the 68-year-old commentator by analyst Clark Kellogg.
Billy Packer’s voice is synonymous with college basketball and he has called some of the greatest moments in the sport’s last 30+ years.
CBS reported that the "time was right" to replace Billy Packer, with whom they had been working on a year-by-year basis for some time. Packer says that he will pursue other basketball-related activities.
