I was curious how the move from smaller cable sports network to Network TV would work out for the Big East
"The Big East championship was the lowest rated college hoops telecast of the weekend on broadcast — behind even the Mountain West and Atlantic-10 title games on CBS (1.1 for each). Head-to-head, it trailed both the Mountain West game and the Big 12 championship on ESPN (1.5)."
Our game got a 1.0 rating, while over on the much less available basic cable ESPN, UNC/UVA Chmp = 1.8
Then again, being on FOX may have had us come close to breaking the 1 million viewers mark ~ a 'step' in the right direction...but still being beat by mid major conferences and basic cable ESPN games is'nt something to be totally happy about. Not quite a 'marquee' basketball league yet (in terms of eye balls/ratings/fan base/etc)
