The article states that Battle of the Brains began in 1985. This is not correct. I participated in Battle of the Brains in 1980-81 and 1981-82. 1980 is the likely start of this show. The champion in 1981-82 was Collegiate.

If anyone has any information between 1980 and 1985 (when the show's website starts listing past champions), please add it to the page.

Also, there were variants of "High School Bowl" and "It's Academic" that aired in the 1960s and 1970s, and very little information about either has been found. I know that Douglas Freeman was champion in 1968 and 1970 from some sleuthing I did.

I am fairly certain that Collegiate was also the champion of the 1980-1981 season.
