Lundquist and Musburger Named NFF Outstanding Contribution to Amateur Football Award
Co-Recipients

Legendary broadcasters Verne Lundquist and Brent Musburger to share the NFF's Outstanding
Contributor to College Football Award in 2011.

DALLAS, August 16, 2011 - The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF)
announced today that longtime voices of college football Verne Lundquist and Brent
Musburger have been named co-recipients of the organization's 2011 Outstanding
Contribution to College Football Award. 

"We are thrilled to honor both Brent and Verne, two of the best announcers our sport has
ever known," said NFF president and CEO Steve Hatchell. "Millions of fans have had their
fall Saturdays enriched by their exceptional storytelling abilities, and they stand atop
the broadcasting profession as true masters of capturing the drama of the gridiron. We are
all truly fortunate to have been in their audience for so many years, and we look forward
to honoring them at the NFF Annual Awards Dinner on December 6 in New York City." 

First presented in 1974, the award provides national recognition to those whose efforts to
support the NFF and its goals have been local in nature or who have made significant
contributions to the game of football either to the manner in which it is played and
coached or to the manner in which it is enjoyed by spectators. Lundquist and Musburger
become the 35th and 36th recipients of this prestigious award. 

Lundquist and Musburger are most recent individuals to be announced as recipients of an
NFF Major Award in 2011, joining Dr. Archie Roberts (Distinguished American Award); Penn
State Athletics Director Tim Curley (John L. Toner Award for superior abilities as an
athletics administrator); and Ted Ruta (Outstanding Football Official Award). The Gold
Medal recipient and Chris Schenkel Award recipient for excellence in broadcasting will be
announced via national press releases in the near future. 

The NFF Major Award winners, along with the 2011 College Football Hall of Fame inductees
and the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class, presented by Fidelity Investments, will be
honored at the NFF 54th Annual Awards Dinner on Dec. 6 at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York
City. For ticket information, please contact NFF director of national events Will Rudd at
800.486.1865 or wrudd at footballfoundation.com. 

VERNE LUNDQUIST'S BIO

Known throughout the sports broadcasting industry as the "Golden Throat," Verne Lundquist
has become an integral part of the sports broadcasting landscape during the past forty
years with his memorable calls and a colorful approach that has made him a fan favorite.
Currently, he serves as the lead play-by-play announcer for CBS Sports' coverage of
college football, a post he has held since 1998 alongside analyst Gary Danielson.
Together, they have become the voices on CBS for SEC football. 

The versatile Lundquist also handles announcing roles for CBS's coverage of college
basketball, including the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, the Masters, the
PGA Championship, and other PGA TOUR events. During his first stint at CBS from 1983 to
1995, Lundquist called the NFL and NBA, and was the network's lead figure skating
announcer for the 1992, 1994 and 1998 Winter Olympics. 

Prior to CBS, Lundquist spent eight years at ABC Sports and three years as a play-by-play
announcer for TNT's coverage of the NFL, NBA, golf and figure skating coverage from 1995
to 1997. In all, he has called 20 different sports, including track and field, swimming
and diving, boxing, gymnastics and horse racing during his illustrious career. 

Lundquist began his career at KTBC-TV in Austin before becoming the sports director at
WFAA-TV in Dallas, where he also worked as the radio voice of the Dallas Cowboys for 16
seasons. He has been inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of
Fame, the Texas Radio Hall of Fame and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Lundquist claimed
seven consecutive Texas Sportscaster of the Year awards from 1977 to 1983 and was named a
Legend of the Sun Bowl in 2005 by the Sun Bowl Association. 

Born in Duluth, Minn., Lundquist grew up in Everett, Wash. and Austin, Texas. He graduated
from Texas Lutheran University in 1962 and received that school's Distinguished Alumnus
Award. In 2009 Lundquist became a member of Texas Lutheran's Board of Regents. 

BRENT MUSBURGER'S BIO

A multi-faceted talent with experience spanning decades and networks and nearly every
sport imaginable, Brent Musburger has become one of the most-recognized voices and faces
in all of sports broadcasting. 

Musburger currently serves as the lead voice of college football for ABC and ESPN, and he
has called the action on ABC's Saturday Night Football since 2006. He has announced the
past five Rose Bowl Games and four BCS Championship games, including Auburn's 22-19 win
over Oregon this past season in the Tostitos BCS National Championship. 

Musburger joined ABC in May 1990 after 15 years as CBS Sports' primary host and
play-by-play commentator. During his reign at CBS, his broadcast responsibilities included
college football, The NFL Today, the NCAA Final Four, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships,
the NBA and the Masters. 

During his celebrated 40-year career, he has worked nearly every major sporting event,
including the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, the Final Four, the World Cup,
the Indianapolis 500, the Masters, the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, and the Little
League World Series, and he has done it across multiple media platforms for CBS, ABC,
ESPN, CBS Radio Network and ESPN Radio. In 2011, he claimed a well-deserved spot in the
National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame. 

A native of Billings, Mont., Musburger graduated from Northwestern University's Medill
School of Journalism before beginning his career as a sportswriter for the Chicago
American. He started his broadcast career in 1968 at WBBM-Radio in Chicago as the
station's sports director, later assuming the same title for WBBM-TV. He then moved to
