Television network, play-by-play and color commentator(s) for the Fiesta Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl began in 1971, but was considered a “minor bowl” until the January 1, 1982 game between Penn State– USC. Since then, the Fiesta Bowl has been considered a major bowl.

Starting with the 2010–11 season, ESPN started airing the games, out bidding Fox for the rights to the games. [1]
