Here's a late '80s episode of It's Academic featuring longtime host Mac McGarry. This appears to be right after the show moved from WBAL to WJZ but while Mac was still hosting the Baltimore shows.
Also note Dulaney's "Coach Emeritus" David Cuneo. Not only was David the longtime coach for Dulaney's It's Academic team (he was my coach way back when I was on the team a few years earlier) but he was also the Jeopardy Seniors Champion in 1995.
Mac initially left the Baltimore version in 2001, then came back for the 2002-03 season when his first successor, Paul Berry, didn't work out too well. Dave Zahren has been the Baltimore host since the '03-'04 season.

I think this is early 1990's and not late 1980's since the music after the first round features a portion of a 1990-1991 Top 40 hit called "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C&C Music Factory.
When did Mac McGarry stop hosting Baltimore It's Academic?
