The article has one source, and that is to a website affiliated with his employer. My searches didn't show up anything on this Todd Harris, except a BYU alumni association page (which is probably not indepdent) and something from famousmormons.com, which is not fully reliable, and blog posts. Harris just does not seem to have been an announcer at a notable level. John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Harris must be doing something right because he was just re signed to a new multi year contract with NBC Sports and continues to add to his long list of sports he has covered. His versatility may be to his detriment. As soon as he is added to a sport and begins to excel he is pulled over to another sport or assignment. He is not flashy and known for a signature call or catchphrase, as is with so many of todays over the top announcers, but he seems to fade into the background of an event or show and lets the athletes be the story. He has learned well at the side of one of the all time greats in Keith Jackson. Deadspin 2010 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.3.71.11 (talk) 19:05, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

• Keep I recall the incident, alluded to in this press release, when Lloyd Carr snapped at Harris at halftime of a Michigan-Ohio State game. To me, serving as the sideline analyst of a Michigan-OSU game counts as being an announcer at a notable level. Harris has also done play-by-play for other college football games at the FBS level, and he announced the 2005 Indianapolis 500 on ABC. To me, it appears he has had a notable enough career to warrant keeping the article. Lepricavark (talk) 15:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
