You Tube Gold: The Very First Televised Selection Sunday

For tonight’s You Tube Gold, we are going to get into the wayback machine and set the dial to 1982.

And in 1982, for the very first time, CBS broadcast the NCAA bracket announcement.

It’s a completely different world, of course. The Committee actually comes out to stand by as the great Dave Gavitt goes to the podium and speaks and then Gary Bender announces the brackets, which are already printed (no digital fun available).

UNC was the #1 seed (this was back when the Tar Heels were regularly invited to the NCAA tournament, kids).
