The main  reason UC isn't going to be on TV much is because of her and  to a  
lesser degree ESPN. Her (I'm not allowed to say her  name) destroyed  the 
basketball program so ESPN knowing UC basketball wasn't  going to  be very 
good put 
them in the same boat as South Florida. UC and SF  are  the only two Big East 
teams not to have one (nada) Big East  conference game on  the main ESPN or 
ESPN 
2 feeds. UC only has two  Big East conference games   on TV and they are on 
ESPNU. Time  Warner has over 300 thousand customers and  they aren't going to 
 
raise the rates for 350 thousand people just so a few  thousand fans  can 
watch 3 
nights of UC basketball this year so you might as well   forget that. If TW 
did 
pick up ESPNU you would only get 3 games. Another  bad  thing ESPN isn't 
going 
to let Fox channel 19 have the game  either. But not to  worry! KS and the XU 
game are on ESPN 2 so you  can watch that.  Everybody gets that. As usual on 
here no one wants  to put the blame where it  really belongs. You can fool 
some of 
the  people all of the time but you know the  rest of that one. Don   PS    I 
have ESPNU 



You speak the truth Don. I can think of maybe five that post on this list  
that know this is the 'real' problem and will actually say this IS the problem.  
I do agree with Keith's thinking that 'hopefully' when UC starts fielding a  
successful program again that ESPN will come calling.
The thing many either don't know or just flat out refuse to acknowledge is  
that UC was on all those games for years because of big Bob. Love him or hate,  
UC was feared and hated by many because they couldn't beat Huggs. I also have 
 ESPNU but what is almost fitting is that I will get to see (I think) the 
same  amount or more of KSU games in my home and thanks to Huggs my Dad and I 
will  once again be able to go to a sporting event and yell our butts off and 
feel  like winners again when we leave the arena. That will be a VERY special 
night  but you may get blacklisted if you bring it up in here. ;-) Just kidding 
(I  hope) Keith but I will more than likely post on that night what it was  
like.
