I'd imagine the main part of that is b/c of cable channels - mainly ESPN - that have taken most of that programming. Add in the Big 10 Network, Fox Sports, CBS College Sports to name a few others, and there's not a whole lot left to be shown on network TV! Heck, even starting in 2011 the NCAA basketball tourney won't be shown fully on CBS as they are sharing the games w/Turner Sports. I agree though, growing up in the late 80s & 90s, there was nothing like a NBA on NBC triple-header, or CBS airing a college basketball triple-header on a Saturday.
