Prior to 1988, the College World Series was a pure double-elimination event. Beginning in 1988,
[1]
the tournament was divided into two four-team double-elimination brackets, with the survivors of each bracket playing in a single championship game. The single-game championship was made for broadcast television, with the final game on CBS on Saturday afternoon.
[2]
CBS paid approximately
$
500,000 for the broadcasting rights to the championship game.

The end of CBS' coverage
[

In
2003
, the tournament was shifted entirely to cable on
ESPN
,
[4]
[5]
which had begun covering all of the other games of the CWS since
1982
(and a partial schedule since
1980
). The championship final became a best-of-three series between the two bracket winners, with games scheduled for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday evenings.
In
2015
, college baseball returned to CBS Sports in the form of a multi-year agreement between the
American Athletic Conference
and
CBS Sports Network
.
[6]
Under the terms of the package, CBS Sports Network would air three
Houston Baseball
games in 2015, as well as the first two contests of the
2015 American Athletic Conference Baseball Championship
.
Carter Blackburn
provided play-by-play for all seven games of the package, while analyst duties would be handled
Darryl Hamilton
and
Ray King
along with Brandon Tierney.
