-After a four year hiatus, the College Bowl was revived as a television program on CBS as the '''GE College Bowl''', sponsored by General Electric. The re-launch of the show came after the game show genre had been rocked by a series of [[w:Quiz show scandals|game-rigging scandals]], including most famously one involving Columbia professor [[Charles van Doren]], son of legendary Professor [[Mark van Doren]] (later dramatized in the film ''[[w:Quiz Show|Quiz Show]]'').

 The new show once again featured teams of four college students, but now traveled from school to school, with the 'reigning champions' hosting challengers in a campus showdown. Teams who won five matches in a row were crowned 'champions', awarded a 'College Bowl' trophy, and retired from the show. Teams also earned $1,500 in scholarship money for their schools for each match won.

+The '''GE College Bowl''' eventually shifted to NBC and took on a new host, Robert Earle. After the network switch Columbia made its second appearance on the television show during the 1966-1967 season.
 Captained by Elia Racah ’67, the 1966 Columbia team included Derek Randal ’67, Jeffrey Rosen ’68, and Steven Ross ’68. The team was coached by Assistant Dean Mark Flanigan, who quipped to the Columbia Spectator "I am the only coach on campus with an undefeated, untied, and unscored on team." Assistant coach Katharine Koch called "really offensive", hopefully referring to their scoring prowess. Dean Flanigan's boast proved prophetic as the 66-67 team went on to demolish Providence College (300-205), Indiana University (250-145), Michigan State University (320-150), the College of William and Mary (330-60), and Smith College (345-120) between November 6 and December 18, 1966. When the smoke settled the 5-time-champions retired from the show with $10,500 in scholarships for the school, a silver trophy for the team, and a champagne party given in their honor by Columbia College Dean [[David Truman]]. Reflecting on those games years later, show creator Don Reid recalled that "the Columbia series was one of the biggest slaughters in the College Bowl."

-Following the end of the GE College Bowl television program in 1970, the College Bowl 'product' would be revived in the late 1970s by the "College Bowl Company" (also referred to sometimes as College Bowl, Inc. or CBI), a company founded by the creators of the College Bowl programs. College Bowl was revived first as an on-campus activity and then as an intercollegiate competition in various forms through the late 70s and 80s. It appears that Columbia may have made an appearance at a regional tournament in 1979 that may have been recorded for broadcast on the CBS Radio network.[http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19790308-01.2.20] CBI would also run a 'national' championship tournament in 1987 that was broadcast on the Disney Channel.

 The College Bowl Company appears to have ultimately settled into producing questions and organizing on-campus intramural and intercollegiate tournaments around the country, in addition to licensing a number offshoots of the format.

	The '''College Bowl''' (or '''College Quiz Bowl'''), and later the '''G.E. College Bowl''' were nationally broadcast radio and television game shows featuring competing teams of students (dubbed "varsity scholars") from various colleges and universities vying to answer academic trivia and general knowledge questions. The show was the brainchild of Don Reid, who according to College Bowl lore collaborated with John Moses to develop the College Bowl radio program out of a [[w:USO\|USO]] activity Reid had created during [[w:World War 2\|World War II]].
