Been monitoring the ratings for BE games on FS1. If accurate, they are continually pitiful in comparison to the juggernaut that is the ESPN machine. Some apples to apples comparisons from Tuesday

7pm - 9pm

ESPN - Iowa - Indiana 1,355,000 viewers
ESPNU - UNC - GA Tech 334,000 viewers
ESPN2 - NBA Coast 2 Coast - 234,000 viewers
FS1 - Georgetown - Butler - 129,000 viewers

9pm - 11pm

ESPN - Kentucky - Georgia - 2,797,000 viewers
ESPN2 - West Virginia - Kansas 719,000 viewers
FS1 - Villanova - Creighton 136,000 viewers
ESPNU - Texas AM - Florida - 105,000 viewers

Those ratings stink. There are going to be some very difficult meetings at Fox, as the whole FS1 network has only had blips of ratings success. Somehow, the Big East's on the court success needs to translate into national ratings. Puts even more importance on not just getting 6 teams in the Dance this year, but a crooked number of them in the Sweet 16.
