I'm pretty sure there were more games on Fox National besides those 2. St John's/Duke was for sure on it. And I believe X/St Johns at X was on it along with a couple other conference games.
I always wished X could get on CBS for a big Saturday afternoon game. And I agree they should try and do a GOW. The biggest obstacles IMO are the number of fans of the new conference. The only people that are going to watch Big East games, are fans of those teams. And until the conference does some serious damage in the tournament, I don't see that changing. The other thing is that CBS has an advantage already. They show the Tournament, so when you're watching regular season games on Saturdays, it still gives you that March feel. Unless Gus Johnson is doing the Fox one, I don't get the same feel to it.

The last time Xavier had a "big" Saturday afternoon game on CBS, they peed down their legs against Duke.

That's one of the reasons it's so frustrating. It really isn't rocket science. There are basic, simple things that can be done that would make a huge difference. FS1 is part of Fox. FOX!!! It's a fairly decent sized company. When you have games between two top 25 teams on a Saturday, Fox should have the option of moving that to the flagship network for the game of the week instead of burying them on some regional network. That happened more than once. The games that were on the flagship network were selected before the season even started, and many of them turned out to be busts. This happens because about 2/3rds of all the teams end up being much better or much worse than expected, so you can't pick a big February game in the month of September. This is why I'm in favor of setting it up the way the SEC does it. It works for them.
I have a simple view of the world. They do it, and it works. So, let's do what they do.
There should also be an FS1 promo on virtually every commercial break of every sporting event that Fox shows on its flagship network. Even if it's just a ten second bumper, or a banner that flashes up for ten seconds on the bottom of the screen. They need to do more to promote what is ultimately their own channel.Last edited by xubrew; 08-19-2015 at 11:31 AM.

Speaking of the SEC, their conference schedules will be released tonight at 7 PM on the SEC network. We're getting closer to a full schedule release for the upcoming season.
