Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3195630, member: 1559"] FS1 has the same average viewership as ESPNU, about 110k per game for men’s basketball. ESPN has 10x and ESPN2 has 3x the average viewership of FS1. FS1 is not a step up in media exposure for UConn men’s basketball. And, forget seeing highlights of the BE on Sports Center as the BE is an afterthought on the prime media outlet of college basketball. The problem UConn has had with ESPN slots over the past 3 years has been driven by poor performance. If UConn was a top 15 team, the exposure on ESPN would have been better with the AAC contract. Why is this so hard to understand? The main problem with UConn athletics has been bad coaching hires in football and men’s basketball. If Temple (Temple!) can turn around a football program that spends less money than UConn and was kicked out of the BE for lack of competitiveness, why hasn’t UConn been competitive? Was Kevin Ollie’s issues due to being in the AAC? [/QUOTE]
