First off, that video is in *really good* quality for 1966.
Second, I'd wager the It's Academic production budget is comparable to the
College Bowl production budget, *maybe* adjusted for inflation.
Earle is certainly capable, if squarely of the era.
And the 1966 game would have shook me.

If you want to see how it matches up to “It’s Academic,” there are a fair
number of episodes of the original “College Bowl” on YouTube - this is the one
I could find that’s in the best condition (this is from after Allen Ludden left

I know College Bowl was a non-televised thing when I was in college.
The DC area has televised a high-school level equivalent, It's Academic,
forever. Between that and my own college level experience, I don't think it
makes the greatest television. Hopefully Peyton is less Nationwide Peyton and
more like he seems to be on his ESPN show.

Speaking of, looks like there’ll be a new Allen Ludden in town: Betty White
will soon be moving to Peytonville….
