The Knight in shining armor, NBC Sports Network, really flucked the AAC. I mean their offer was so pitiful ESPN, must have LOL, and thought, "shat, we would have offered more than that, if they weren't so hell bent on going on the open market".
I watch a lot of Fox Sports stuff, because of the UFC. They are promoting the Big East well. I still haven't watched one game there involving a Big East team. I really enjoy college basketball, but there is not one compelling game I'd randomly tune in to other than maybe Georgetown Villanova. If they were good, I'd tune in to see St. John's play either of the aforementioned. The rest, including Marquette do nothing for me. I hate myself for saying this, but the ACC on the other hand is going to be awesome with their matchups.
Why have we never seen an official number of what Fox Sports is paying the Big East? I doubt very much the 5 million a year figure was on the mark.
