Problem: Though a pilot was shot in the spring of 1955, the game did not move to television until 1959. As G.E. College Bowl with General Electric as the primary sponsor, the show ran on CBS from 1959 to 1963, and moved back to NBC from 1963 to 1970. Allen Ludden was the original host, but left to do Password (TV series) full-time in 1962. Robert Earle was moderator for the rest of the run. The norm developed in the Ludden-Earle era of undefeated teams retiring after winning five games. Each winning team earned $1,500 in scholarship grants from General Electric with runner-up teams receiving $500. A teams fifth victory awarded $3,000 from General Electric plus $1,500 from Gimbels department stores for a grand total of $10,500. On April 16, 1967, Seventeen (American magazine) magazine matched GEs payouts so that each victory won $3,000 and runners-up earned $1,000. The payouts from Gimbel department stores remained the same so that five-time champions retired with a grand total of $19,500.

How many more dollars was the winning scholarship grant from GE than the grant for the runner-up teams?
Answer: 1000

With the win, Dallas improved to 8-3 on the season, setting up a showdown with the 8-3 Eagles for first place in the NFC East on Thanksgiving Day. DeMarco Murray went over 100 yards yet again, rushing for 121 yards but failed to get in the end zone. Giants rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. would finish his historic night with 10 catches for 146 yards and two scores. Rapper and New York City native Jay Z attended the game and was seen having a brief conversation with Jerry Jones on the field prior to kickoff.

Jones later claimed that the brief conversation had nothing to do with contract negotiations.

Answer: Odell Beckham Jr
