Plus, the FS2 games are cupcake state at big east school, of course the ratings are going to be bad.

Keep in mind, with the data coming in....it was a steal of a deal for the Big East....next time the contract is up, the Big East doesn't get nearly the same contract if the numbers don't improve.  Means a decreased revenue stream for Marquette.

It's at least cause for concern.

Next deal is up in 2026.

Sure, but the BE might get bumped in favor of other programs as they acquire more content. Right now the BE is not doing itself any favors in Fox Sports eyes.

"The December 2 Mount St. Mary’s/Seton Hall game on Fox Sports 2 was the least-watched of the season, with just 1,000 viewers. Fox Sports 2 aired the 10 of the 11 least-watched games during the regular season, with a Big East team involved in each of the ten."

Nope, contract won't allow for it.

Not that this would really make the numbers jump much more, but FS1 is barely on any TVs in hotels.  I travel quite often for work and was constantly watching the game through my computer or phone through FoxSportsGo.  If there was a non-MU Big East game, I would have liked to have watched it casually through the TV, but I'm not going to stream it through my phone or computer.
