Katie Nolan is easy on the eyes, nice to see her show doing better.

FS1 had a very good Saturday.

FS1 is busy on the weekends, other than Big East and Pac-12 basketball Nov. thru early March, FS1 lacks live sports Monday thru Friday.

This weekend has many different things...
Fri 10p.m. (FS1) — Boxing: Eric Hunter (19-3) vs. Antonio Escalante (29-7) in a super welterweight bout in Indio, Calif.

Sat 11 a.m. (FS1) — NASCAR Xfinity Series: Hisense 300 qualifying in Concord, N.C.
4 p.m. (FS1)— Brewers at Braves
7pm- (FS1)-UFC

Sun. 1pm (FS1) — College baseball: Big 12 championship game in Tulsa, Okla.
5 p.m. (FS1) — MLS: Philadelphia at New York
7 p.m. (FS1) — MLS: Orlando City at San Jose

Another added benefit to being partnered with Fox. The Big East Digital Network will expand from 70 to 225 telecasts next year:

73 women's basketball
35 men's soccer
35 women's soccer
15 volleyball
10 baseball
10 softball
6 lacrosse

Not sure many other conferences televise ALL their women's basketball games and most of their soccer games as well as other olympic sports.

1 thing to note about this- it's just the early part of the schedule I would guess- plus the prime time/weeknight games..

Also of note- UAB bringing back football for 2016.

That is the Conference USA part.

Right, but I think they normally in football only release the first 2-3 weeks of the season tv schedule. then as weeks get closer, they pick the best games for TV

(although C-USA is so bad, that may be the extent of their FS1 coverage).

Some Pac-12, Big 12 and Conference USA.

Think it may be safe to say- the Michigan/Utah game in September on opening night of college football may be the most important game in FS1 history. It has to show the Big Ten that they can get I'm not even going to say great ratings, but solid ratings. I mean look at what Michigan is bringing to this- their first game ever with Harbaugh coaching. That alone should get good ratings. 1st game of the season in general gets good ratings. If Fox wants to get the Big Ten for FS1, they have to produce here.
