The broadcaster has been in the business for more than 30 years and has had a long and successful career. Packer was the main college basketball expert on the NBC and CBS teams covering the Final Four for 34 years. He also worked for Raycom as a commentator for ACC games. The majority of Packer’s income likely came from his many jobs in sports media.

In 2008, Packer stopped being a sportscaster, but he kept working with basketball. He worked as a consultant for the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats and was involved in a number of business and real estate deals.
