This Day in College Sports History

by Michael Garner

Five minutes a day on what happened on this date in college sports history. Each episode brings two or three stories, from the first games of the 1800s to bowl classics, buzzer-beaters and the coaches and players who changed the game, across football, basketball and more: the people behind them, one vivid detail, and why it still matters. Every episode is researched from reliable sources, listed in the show notes. A new episode comes out every morning.
