I've noticed FOX acting in bad faith as a partner the last two years. The network and conference have sat on their hands when it comes to the Big East. I've and others have called out both parties multiple times for it.I agree 100% with Hurley that College Basketball/the media doesn't do nearly enough to promote the game. Not nearly enough human interest stories, not nearly enough stories and hype for the star players, and they don't even sell their marquee matchups...
The UConn Marquette game is the biggest game of the season so far in the sport and I haven't even seen any national advertisements hyping it or even saying when and where you can watch the game. I watched Big East games the other night on FS1 and they didn't even hype up the matchup and all their ads during the game were about the Michigan v. Michigan State game which is a terrible matchup this year.
You mean downplaying one of their marquee properties to drive down the cost of the next media deal?I've noticed FOX acting in bad faith as a partner the last two years.

College basketball in general has had terrible promotion because of the lack of star players and coaches.I agree 100% with Hurley that College Basketball/the media doesn't do nearly enough to promote the game.

I heard from my friend he's working behind the scenes on something but haven't asked him in a while about it. He's talked about multiple projects.I wish they had went through with the Hard Knocks style show that would have filmed the program. The school is gonna have to take the promotion into their own hands and continue to step up with their own original shoulder programming and content.
