The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 (SBA); (codified ) is a U.S. federal statute that amended antitrust laws to allow professional sports leagues to pool the broadcasting rights held by all their teams and sign league-wide exclusive contracts with national television networks. It also added provisions limiting the days, times, and locations of when and where professional football games could be telecast under this antitrust exemption so they avoid competing with most high school football and college football games. - Source: Wikipedia
