Yeah, y'all are right-I forgot what a meglomaniac Sarnoff was, he'd do ANYTHING to make color TV go- & sporting events were a good way to showcase color. Of course, to be fair, Sarnoff had a bundle tied up in color, & by 1960, it wasn't exactly setting the world on fire-IIRC, RCA's bankers were beginning to grumble just a bit by then.
