Quote:The Big East has yet to recover its mojo.

Villanova-Creighton scored a 0.7 final rating and 1.1 million viewers in Saturday’s Big East Tournament final on FOX, down 22% in ratings and 21% in viewership from Seton Hall-Villanova last year

The Big East title game, once the crown jewel of championship week, has yet in four years on Fox Sports to attract even half of the audience it earned in its final year on ESPN — 3.4 million for Louisville-Syracuse in 2013. That is despite boasting the defending national champion Wildcats, the #1 overall seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament bracket.

What does admission requirements have to do with our top 5 ranking and the Church League's impending doom as an interesting sports choice?

P.S. Hows 'bout that Omaha BJ Suburban H.O.R.S.E. series? I just love it when players clear the paint and jack up mid-major bombs all game long. That's how you spell E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G!

P.S.S. How 'bout dem Hoyas? You guys got anybody that can dunk?

You guys have a really good basketball program. I like Gregg Marshall but you guys are still a college right? Are you like..a for profit college? Do kids just sign on the dotted line and get in?

But hey I guess it'll add more eyeballs when you guys play....at least you have a good basketball program so that's nice.



I was told not to use big words when talking to you guys, is that true? Anyways....basketball!!! yea! Final Four! Yea! Big PEE!!!! YEA!!!!
