As the Creighton fan in Omaha on the board I gotta admit I had high hopes for Fox and right now I am basically about ready to give up on them after this season.

Last year from a Creighton perspective it was great to have FS1, we were coming off of only having games on regional sports networks and barely any coverage with Doug McDermott as a junior. FS1 comes along with national tv and actual name teams and CU lead off the 11 PM SportsCenter 3 times, unreal. CU had Bill Raftery and Gus calling games in Omaha, something we never thought we would see before. Every CU game was on TV, the year before we had to listen to the radio for 3 conference games in the year 2013. All the while FOX was telling us "we just need a year, just need to get on basic cable, we have the Super Bowl and MLB playoffs."

This year though the ratings are worse, ESPN has ignored the #2 conference RPI wise, and even with the number 2 team in the nation in the title game it draws that. I know the schools are getting a ton of money but is losing all the visibility really worth it. The AAC is not a great conference but since they are on ESPN they get a ton of coverage. ESPN is doing to the Big East what it did to the NHL "You wanna go to the competition, fine don't expect a lot of coverage from us then".

I know FOX has the World Cup, US Open, and MLB still but until they get on a channel everyone gets and gets a highlight show people will watch the Big East and Fox is screwed.
