This is a wonderful day. I personally wrote to CBS to have Billy Packer fired a couple of years ago, and I know many other ACC basketball fans who have also complained to CBS about him.
On the other hand, I must admit that Billy Packer has done many positive things for the game of basketball. *However, his arrogance and attitude was just too much to listen to, and really took away from the enjoyment of watching the game on television.
I cringed everytime I turned a game on, and realized that Packer was the announcer. I am so happy that we will not have that problem anymore.

Thanks CBS for listening to the fans.
