Jim Nantz will make 2023 his last year as the lead play-by-play voice for the Final Four, the New York Post reported Monday.
Ian Eagle has been picked to take over for Nantz after that, according to the report.
Nantz, 63, has been doing play-by-play of the Final Four since 1991 for CBS and Turner Sports, who hold the NCAA Tournament’s TV rights and alternate years broadcasting the Final Four.
Nantz reportedly chose 2023 because the Final Four will be played in Houston and broadcast on CBS. Not only did he want to honor CBS, his primary employer, but he began his broadcasting career while a student at the University of Houston.
Nantz will remain in the NFL booth with Tony Romo for CBS, along with continuing to front the network’s coverage of the Masters and the PGA Tour.
Eagle calls college basketball, the NBA and the NFL for CBS and Turner.
