Big East basketball not scoring for Fox/Fox Sports 1

[Dooley]

I thought FSU didn't care about basketball??? At least, that's the company line from the day that the last ACC team is eliminated from the Tourney through the football championship. Sure seems like that isn't true.

In ratings, it is all about the match ups.

UConn-Indiana drew a million viewers. Duke vs a major player brings great ratings, against Davidson, puny ratings.

When the biggies of basketball meet, the ratings go up.

UConn, Kentucky, Michigan, Kansas, Louisville. etc.

Teams like FSU, Clemson, Davidson, Nova, etc will not get a decent rating...and will pull a middling rating only if paired against a partner with a draw.

FSU is still trying to build fan interest in basketball. It is soooo far distant to football that it may seem of limited interest. Like Bama.

I just took a look at Warchant pay boards. Right now there are 684 logged on to the Football board and 48 to the basketball board...and it is basketball season...and FSU lost to Duke by 3 last night. The basketball forum has echoes when you post.
