CS3 Change colors to BW except "blue" at DVinfo.net

During the BCS games I saw an effect where the footage was all black and white except for the color of a jersey or something like that.

Is there a way in CS3 that I can change the clip to Black and white while leaving all blue jerseys's blue?

Is color pass still available in CS3???

Give that effect a try.

It is still available. Once I apply it everything is b&w. Can I add the blue back in?

OK, I got it.
However, is there a way to get all the blues more defined? It appears to be working but the variations of blue are not popping with color, due small lighting differences.

Guy, try using the secondary color correction. You can mask out the blue areas and affect them separately.
