Donovan McNabb, Eduardo Najera and Brendan Haywood can speak freely about their alma maters while working NCAA Final Four broadcasts.

The former Syracuse quarterback, Oklahoma basketball standout and a player from North Carolina's 2000 Final Four team will be among the commentators on team-centric alternate telecasts offered by Turner Sports. The alternate telecasts have been available for national semifinals the past two seasons and this year will be shown during the national championship game from Houston.

Jim Nantz will call his 26th championship game on the national broadcast, which moves from CBS to cable for the first time and airs on TBS. He'll be joined by analysts Grant Hill and Bill Raftery.
