While with 112 broadcasts the average isn't liable to be massive, Fox Sports 1 could only average a mere 95,000 viewers for Big East games this season, not including the tourney. As a comparison, ESPN's family of networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) broadcast 56 American Athletic Conference games this season, averaging 293,000 viewers.

Yeah, because everything Fox touches turns to crap, so let's stay on a network that hates us. Got it.

You should stop listening to the voices in your head.

I think they set the bar so low it qualifies as the basement...personally I don't love ESPN but it is what it is and its better than the fox alternative anyway.

Erm, is any of that even wrong? Fox had to pay more because everything they touch DOES turn to crap!
