3,2,1 go........

There's an obvious benefit to the Big East if FS1 succeeds. For that reason I watch it more than espn. Simple as that.

Good statement, but it isn't obvious to me. Does Butler get more money if the ratings go up? Does the contract $$ move with ratings?

Valid responses, but if Fox isn't around and TV still is, someone picks up the games. Most if not all of the games on all Major Conferences are on TV. Exposure is there no matter if it comes from CBS, ABC, ESPN or Fox or local affiliates.
And the contract, having 8.5 years to go, is far, far too far out for me to be worried about. The NCAA landscape that you see today won't look anything like this in 9 years. So I for one aren't going to worry about the next contract with Fox. [Who knows if cable will even be around a decade from now. Five years ago who was streaming games on their hand held device? What hasn't been invented yet that will be mainstream in a decade?]
Tonight I'm watching Alabama and Wichita. I could care less what station it is on.

Yes, it is a long way away and yes there will be someone broadcasting those games, the thing is the more LEGIT companies who are willing to pay us for our product the better off we will be. If there is a monopoly we will be low balled, Now you don't have to understand or agree with that but thats the truth.
Also as someone who works in television, TV isn't going anywhere. Especially live sports on TV. The device we watch on might change but the companies who actually create the content and tape the content will still be there and will still be charging for their services.

They could easily do an expose of the Football conference hoops teams showing how diminutive the Basketball programs are for 99% of the universities. Show the separation in the departments, the resentment, everyone knows it's there. ESPN has been systematically bashing FS1's major asset since our contract was signed, so I say it's time to start throwing punches back. Jay Wright could be the host.
