As of 2024[update], the network features games from The American, Atlantic Coast, Big 12, and Southeastern conferences.

In fact, all of Penn's home games were broadcast on ABC during the 1950 season under a contract that paid the university $150,000.

ABC was able to circumvent these restrictions by producing a television series, Notre Dame Football, that featured a filmed version of the previous day's Notre Dame Fighting Irish football contest, with dead ball time and some inconsequential plays edited out for time, on Sunday evenings in fall 1953.

The NCAA believed that broadcasting a single live game per week would prevent further controversy while limiting any decrease in attendance.

However, the Big Ten Conference was unhappy with the arrangement, and it pressured the NCAA to allow regional telecasts as well.

Finally in 1955, the NCAA revised its plan, keeping eight national games while permitting regional telecasts on five specified weeks during the season.

On September 23, 1967, Chris Schenkel and Bud Wilkinson were scheduled to announce the Penn State-Navy game.

The November 16 Alabama-Miami game was the first ever prime time regular season college football national telecast.

The September 2, 1973 edition of the Abeliene (TX) Reporter-News stated that ABC would be broadcasting 37 games (24 regionally, 13 nationally) that season.

Chris Schenkel, Keith Jackson, Bill Flemming, Lynn Sanner, and Bob Murphy were named as the play-by-play men with Bud Wilkinson, Duffy Daugherty (who joined Schenkel and Wilkinson, creating a 3-man booth for its #1 team), Lee Grosscup, Forest Evashevski, and Monty Stickles as color commentators.

In 1974, ABC elevated Jackson to #1 announcer replacing Chris Schenkel, who moved to anchor the studio show.

John McKay was originally scheduled to work the season opener (UCLA @ Tennessee) on September 7, but Bob Devaney (then-Athletic Director for the Nebraska Cornhuskers) called the game with Jackson.

Meanwhile, ABC added Jim Lampley and Don Tollefson for sideline interviews and features on the telecasts.

The September 9, 1974 game (Notre Dame @ Georgia Tech) was the first ever NCAA college football Monday night telecast.

For the Monday night telecast, Jackson paired with the then-Texas head coach Darrell Royal to broadcast the game.

By 1977, Keith Jackson, Chris Schenkel, Verne Lundquist, Jim Lampley, and Bill Flemming were ABC's primary play-by-play announcers.

ABC opened the 1980 season with a prime time game (Arkansas @ Texas) on Labor Day.

This allowed the network with priority on a particular date to have first choice when selecting the game it wished to air and whether it wanted the 12:00 ET or 3:30 ET timeslot.

Beginning in 1982, Jim Lampley hosted College Football Today alongside and Beano Cook.

He would work again with Michaels the next year for the Gator Bowl contest between Iowa and Florida, while substituting for Grosscup, who was out with an illness.

Instead, Corey McPherrin (Miami @ West Virginia) and Tim Brant (Oklahoma vs. Texas) did play-by-play alongside Lynn Swann and Mike Adamle respectively for ABC that day.

The game ABC aired before the World Series was a 38–14 victory for the Iowa Hawkeyes over the Purdue Boilermakers.

In 1991, ABC acquired the rights to the CFA from CBS in addition to the B10/P10 and went back to televising several regional games in many timeslots.

Meanwhile, Brent Musburger was on American League Division Series duty on October 7 and thus, Roger Twibell called Notre Dame @ Washington in his place.

On November 11, Bob Griese attended parents weekend at Michigan, so Tim Brant worked the Nebraska @ Kansas broadcast with Keith Jackson.

Meanwhile, ABC changed its policy from the previous season and allowed Bob Griese to call Michigan games.

On September 21, ABC had planned to show Oklahoma @ San Diego State as one of its 3:30 regional games.

Also, the recently developed BCS Spotlight Game was essentially replaced by Saturday Night Football.

The 2006 season was marked by a lot of reshuffling in its broadcasting teams in addition to Jackson, as Lynn Swann departed from ABC to embark on a failed political run, Aaron Taylor left to pursue a career change, and Gary Danielson went to CBS to cover Southeastern Conference games.
