ESPN revealed on Monday that legendary announcer Dick Vitale's contract has been extended through the 2027-28 college basketball season. His contract extension was publicized on Vitale's 86th birthday.
Dickie V will nearly hit his 50-year mark at the network since he began there in 1979 when he called the network's first college basketball game. Since then, he's called over 1,000 college basketball games.
