Will we get Pressure From Fox?

Right now the folks over Fox Sports 1 must be just livid. They go out and acquire rights to the Big East and for most part it has been a dud. Especially when it comes to us. We were suppose to be a flagship program for conference. Had we lived up to some of expectations they would have something to hang there hat on. Instead they are stuck featuring an awful team. Espn would put us against Dartmouth on ESPN3.

My question is do the folks over there put pressure on us to to do something?

Right now their ROI looks horrible.

Good grief.

Fox doesn't care as they're still going to make their money regardless of how good or bad SJU is.

What we all need to realize is that St. John's is not a marquee program anymore.

In the Big East, the marquee programs are 'Nova(makes me wanna puke), Creighton (I'm rooting for them and McDermott now), Marquette and Georgetown.

The next tier would be Xavier, Butler and St. John's.

Then Seton Hall, Providence and DePaul.

Yeah, Fox and Under Armour are going to send someone with a crowbar to Monasch's house telling him Lavin has to go....

that be nice

All Fox cares about is ratings.  We can't assess how good or bad in Fox's eyes we are without knowing how our games rank with respect to eyeballs on the screen.  The only ratings insight I recall seeing was on this board - where SJU-Xavier was the highest rated game on New Year's Eve.

This isn't reality.

How do we know what their return is?  It's all relative. 
For similar programming they might have had to spend twice as much to acquire the ACC.   
Plus they're in their first year - I'm sure they aren't looking planning to turn a profit until a few years from now when people have built habits  andbrand loyalty and are used to FoxSports

You're being a little aggressive putting us in that second tier with Xavier.

We already lost to 2 of the 3 "bottom tier" programs.  Maybe there should be a 4th Estate
