Will there ever be a sports lineup that comes close to CBS Dream Season 1990?

Here was their sports lineup in 1990.
Super Bowl
Masters
NBA Playoffs including NBA finals
Daytona 500
MLB Playoffs including World Series
US Open Tennis
NCAA Basketball Tournament

I can't think of any sports lineup by a network that comes close to matching all of the great sporting events CBS had in 1990. Ironically, almost all of the major events ended up being blowouts (Broncos-49ers Super Bowl, UNLV-Duke, US Open Final, World Series) so it didn't really work out as well as they had hoped but you can't knock their ambition.

Big transition year for CBS and it was all downhill after that.
- Lost rights to the NBA to NBC just as the league was blowing up and MJ was about to go off.
- Fired Brent Musburger, who was a network stalwart. He was involved in essentially all facets of CBS Sports.
- I want to say their CFB package shrunk a bit.
- They got MLB at the worst time, and their coverage was loathed by all MLB diehards. MLB was seen as NBC's birthright, and CBS's coverage was seen as sporadic and half assed. Massive failure with lots of money lost.
- By the mid-'90s, all CBS had was NCAA basketball and the Masters.
CBS ruled sports in the '80s, NBC the '90s, and ABC to an extent the early 2000s. Now it's spread around pretty well without one network dominating.
