Since when has FOX carried college basketball?

[jontaejones]

I know FoxSports has college basketball games but the Nova/G'town game is on Fox Main this Saturday. As in the channel the Simpsons is on.

When did Fox start carrying college ball? Have I seen a college game on Fox ever?

With the full agreement with the Big East, FOX has shown some Big East games in the past. The first one i can recollect was Ohio State vs. Marquette from a year ago. They are also showing AZ vs. ASU on FOX as well this Saturday. Earlier this year wasn't the Cuse vs. Nova game on FOX? Maybe that was FS1? Can't remember.

Yeah cuse/nova was on Fox

Interesting, as long as I can remember CBS was the only 1 of the main American networks to carry college basketball. As long as we get more games then this is a good thing.

Yep. Missed that one.

Arizona ASU is on fox this weekend. Was looking for it on fs1 forever then finally just checked normal fox. I was surprised.

When they saw they could make money they got involved. They don't carry any sports unless it's for profit. TBS, and it's adulates carried the NCAA Tourney last year and that was a first.

That actually started a few years ago.

Agreed.

Thanks Trolly.

I actually typed "affiliates" and the auto-correct put in "adulates". I just noticed that.

Fox needed additional vehicles to get Gus Johnson more air time.

I used to like Gus calling games but now I have to mute them. He's become a caricature of himself.
