Why isn't game prime time on espn?
- Thread starter Summy1
- Start date
Then the better question is why FS1 didn't carry it. Maybe they didn't get to pick first but I think this is clearly the top game in this series and the only one on Monday night. Perhaps they didn't want to waste a pick on a game to go up against MNF?
Is FS1 in more households than BTN? Before the MLB playoffs, I'm not sure I'd ever watched anything on FS1.
For the Gavitt Games, the Big East broadcast partner (FS1) airs the Big East home games & the BTN airs the B1G home games.
I don't think so regarding the households.....FS1 has some college football games too.....ironically, with the expansion of these sports networks, it's been a contraction of good announcers/announcing. JMO
I'm not sure the answer to that specific question. I have had it for a long time but like you I do not watch it much mainly because they don't have content I typically watch. I'm assuming that will change with their splurge into Big Ten rights.
I'm pretty su
i get it. The Big Ten has to be absolutely thrilled such a huge game is on their network.
Who cares if it's not on ESPN. ESPN isn't what it used to be and people are used to watching games on all kinds of weird channels anymore and know how to find them. Thinking about it, I rarely ever watch anything on ESPN anymore.
Hated those Monday night games back in the 80's. Home team tip offs not til 9:45 eastern time due to SEC game running long, not getting home til way after midnight. Knight had that right by bitching to the Big Ten about the start times. That is why the Big Ten got moved to Tuesday nights on ESPN.
