It is a day of great news for college basketball fans as CBS has decided to replace the legendary and controversial Billy Packer with Clark Kellogg on their lead announcing team for the NCAA Tournament and Final Four.

CBS has decided to replace Packer, 68, with studio analyst Clark Kellogg on its lead announcing team.

CBS believed the time was right for a change and that Kellogg deserved a chance to work with Jim Nantz on the lead team.

Packer, who had been going year to year with his contract, confirmed through a CBS official Sunday that he no longer will broadcast for the network but is pursuing other projects in basketball. Packer declined to comment further.

Packer had worked every Final Four since 1975. He did some good work early on but seemed to have fallen behind the times in recent years. He always seemed arrogant and a bit pompous about what he knew about the game, which some would argue was not nearly as much as he thought he knew.
