Fox is carrying the XFL lol

Fox is carrying the XFL lol

So, is ABC, ESPN & FS1. All the network paid zero for the rights for it.

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere but now that conference play has resumed, Inside the Big East is back on FS1. They broke some news as Jyare Davis verbally committed to the Friars via Evan Daniels on air: https://twitter.com/EvanDaniels/status/1213984171858771973. Not sure if I've seen this type of recruiting news from Inside the Big East before? Think it's a good idea to spice things up to try and gain interest in the show, but it's pretty frustrating it doesn't have a set time slot every week. Pretty sure there's a new episode every Sunday but with no consistent time slot and then replayed throughout the week at ridiculous times like 4:00am on a Wed.

Thats awesome but it helps when it follows an NFL playoff game.

Surprised the Xavier/St. John's game pulled 2.3 million going up against the Eagles/Seahawks. Also (pleasantly) surprised FOX chose Xavier/St. John's as the follow to the NFL playoffs.... thought it would be a more marquee Big East matchup or a Big 10 matchup.

Here is a sample from the weekend. Last year, I was hoping the Xavier at MU game to be at 3:30pm following a NFL playoff game. Well, FOX never had a game that Sunday and MU was at 11am. Lead-in's do matter! Crazy number for St. John's at Xavier!
