I think '75 was their last season.

As another poster stated, it's odd not to see any college football-not even an SWC game-on a mid-September Saturday.

Possibly because the college football games aired in the late afternoon and at night. I have the sports section of the Express-News the same page where the TV listings are and there is a radio section and sure enough these games occured.

1:30 P.M. Oklahoma vs. Oregon
3:45 P.M. Texas A & M vs. Mississippi
5:55 P.M. SMU vs. Florida
7:15 P.M. Texas vs. Colorado State
7:15 P.M. Texas Tech vs. Florida State
7:15 P.M. Rice vs. Houston
7:15 P.M. Texas Lutheran vs. Southwest Texas
And an NFL game as well(surprised that KMOL didn't show this instead)
7:30 P.M. Dallas Cowboys vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Probably back then,most of these games were played at night,and then as the football season started going in earnest,the games were seen in the afternoons.
 
In checking the online copy of the Toronto Star from that date, the NFL game mentioned was a preseason game. The last of 6 weeks of exhibition.

They have both Toronto and Buffalo listings listed and ABC(WKBW 7) carried the Ali-Baugner fight from Malaysia and football highlights listed for Wide World of Sports at 4:30 ET. It appears that ABC did not carry a game on the opening Satuday of the season.
