Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 334435, member: 527"] If the Big East goes to NBC it will be the final death nail in the coffin of this god awful conference. Seriously, people KNOW to go to ESPN for games. People KNOW what channel ESPN is on their cable provider. No fans are going to hunt out and find Big East football (or basketball) games on NBC Sports channel. It just ain't gonna happen with that group of bad schools. The ratings will be below bad and they will get less national coverage than they get now. Honestly what the Big East should do is go completely outside the box when it comes to football. They already messed up with this adding west coast teams to the conference so time to make chicken salad out of chicken s#it. This year you got NFL Games every Thursday. And on Saturday's the Big East teams get lost int he shuffle of actual "GOOD" college football. So, the Big East should go to ESPN and say we want either Friday or Wednesday. Go totally outside the box and the Big East will play EVERY conference game on that day. So lets say its Friday Night, ESPN gives the Big East a double header all year. A 7pm start with a game at an East Coast venue (ie UCONN, L'ville, Rutgers, USF..etc) then a 10pm game from a West Coast venue (Boise, San Diego, SMU, Houston I will consider the Texas schools west coast). Instead of being lost in the shuffle the Big East should just take a night and "OWN" that night! Play every conference game that night, so during the games you can cut in with highlights from other Big East action being played at that time. Just pick a night (outside the traditional Saturday/Thursday) and OWN that night. So if a guy at home wants to watch football that night they are FORCED to watch Big East football. It's not great that they have to do this. It's not ideal. It's not perfect. But its better than the situation they got now which is no identity and just lost in the shuffle. Going to NBC is death. Stay on ESPN at all costs and be forward thinking is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
