We've got to do better against Nova and Creighton this year. Can't lose all 4 to them again. The Saturday January 8th vs UConn game could see a huge crowd at Prudential.
Why put it up against a 12-hour wall of bowl games? Do they want to make sure no one is watching?Villanova visiting the Rock on New Years Day??????
Grab your popcorn. (And your tickets ASAP)

I'd disagree, and I think we'll also loose a ton of unaffiliated couch surfers who would otherwise tune into our game, but the lure of bowl games (particularly for gambling purposes) is very, very strong.Big East fans don't really care about college football.

It strikes me as a wasted opportunity to showcase the league. There are meaningful bowl games on from noon to midnight. Who, other than die-hards, is watching early season college basketball?There are 5 Big East games scheduled for Jan. 1.
The FBS games will be on Dec 31 and Jan 10th. Those are the most watched college bowl games now. The other New Years day games draw viewers but not anything like they used to.
That has changed things, but you still have the Fiesta, Rose, and Sugar Bowls on Jan, 1, in addition to the Citrus and Outback, the ratings for all of which will dwarf ours. The Big East matchups will present the average viewer with an attractive "flip-to" during commercials of the bowl games.The FBS games will be on Dec 31 and Jan 10th.

I hope we don't even lose to Creighton once this year, they're in major youth movement mode (although their recruiting class was top 10 in the country) and I want some revenge on the past couple seasons!We've got to do better against Nova and Creighton this year.

Have fun watching tv, Xavier
I understand the college betting angle, but New Years Day bowl games are not the most compelling anymore especially the esrly afternoon games. What day would you choose? Sunday is NFL playoffs. Friday is NY Eve. The league knows its demographics.It strikes me as a wasted opportunity to showcase the league. There are meaningful bowl games on from noon to midnight.

Not true for me. But by January 1 all eyes are on the college football playoff games so the Big East games should do pretty well.Big East fans don't really care about college football.
NFL sunday on fox whats going on before the game? pregame prob brings in bigger numbers but honestly i think its a good opportunity to piggyback off the viewers tuning inI understand the college betting angle, but New Years Day bowl games are not the most compelling anymore especially the esrly afternoon games.

Meaningful doesn't have much to do with it. Especially now with the explosion of legal gaming (but even without it), bowl games will always hammer early season college hoops. The ones watching the Big East slate that day will the people like us, who wear sweatshirts with the names of these universities on them. But the casual fan and the gambler (a segment growing at an unbelievable rate) is spending the day engaged with football. It's got nothing to do with the playoffs and everything to do with habits, tradition, and most importantly, the multitude of in-game betting options that come with football. This is just part of why the TV contracts for these things dwarf anything we're doing.Those bowl games will obviously get viewers, but they aren’t meaningful. There will guys opting not to play to maintain their health for the draft. It’s all about the CFP these days.

What you and I are going to watch in this case has little to do with how it's going to track everywhere else.
You’re such an ass.EDIT
Please take this to Life Off the Ship. We all know where this thread will go with your attached tweet.
As the season draws near and if this speculation becomes reality then we'll discuss it on this site.
