Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4914289, member: 1559"] This issue has been laid out before. FOX really didn't increase their basketball content with their new contracts, gain some there, lose some there. But, losing the Big East would create a massive hole in their college basketball content as FOX covers over 120 games. And, they only potentially have one conference tournament for the foreseeable future, the Big East as they do not have rights for the Big 12 or Big 10 conference tournaments. I think what many people miss is that the BTN, SECN, and ACCN consume by far most of those conferences basketball content which is why the Big East is valuable to FOX as they offer a lot of content for FS1 and FS2. This is also why people can't compare the ratings of the entire Big East conference slate of basketball games on the FOX networks vs a small subset of the Big 10 games on the FOX networks. [/QUOTE]
