In April 2014 Karsch was said to be among the finalists for the University of Michigan Football play by play radio position. The position was, in the end, awarded to Dan Dierdorf, who played football for Michigan and in the NFL, as well as having done color commentary for NFL games on ABC and CBS.
Starting in the fall of 2022 Karsch along with former Michigan football player Jon Jansen will be the new voices of Michigan Football.
