Greg Gumbel.

In March, 2024, Gumbel missed his first NCAA tournament since 1997 due to what he said at the time were family health issues. Gumbel was the studio host for CBS since returning to the network from NBC in 1998.

Selection Sunday and NCAA coverage will take a while to get used to for the next few years.

Gumbel was an icon.


Him, Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis were Selection Sunday for years.


RIP GG.

Anyone in Central Iowa remember him briefly doing sports on WOI-TV in Lames?

Refreshingly, Greg appeared to have no desire or need to be seen as the smartest-guy in the room...unlike his younger brother, Saunders, and Costas.

Oh shit… 💩 I didn’t hear that… thanks for the post I always liked him and I think he had a twin brother or something? He was very good at what he did and will be sorely missed.

I'm not from Michigan...I went to Michigan for school...born and bred in NYC and returned (with stints living in Europe, the South, South West, DC and even Ohio)...our paths crossed in NYC...has zero to do with Michigan

Wow - you’re Very impressive. I was with all your greatness …… until you disparaged a guy that just died of cancer.

It’s the cool thing that the elite from Michigan do. Us commoners don’t have that skill set.
