billy-packer-2.jpgThe Miami Herald's Barry Jackson has it confirmed (linked here) that CBS' Billy Packer, 68, has been replaced by Clark Kellogg as the main analyst on the network's college basketball coverage.
Packer has covered every Final Four since 1975 (going back to his days at NBC) and rumors were strong last April that his run could be ending at the network.
Jackson wrote that the announcement is expected Monday, but CBS representative Leslie Anne Wade confirmed the story Sunday night.
