I don't think Fox sports 1 or 2, is the issue. I think the Big East is the issue. The link below is from Bleacher Report, but I know that people have tuned in to the fox sports networks to watch UFC content. Maybe, just maybe, people just aren't that enthralled by this version of the Big East to tune in. Its very early, and far from definitive, but I don't think you can point to the Fox Sports Networks as to why the Big East ratings are poor. People have no trouble finding it on their cable provider to watch programming the want to watch like the UFC.

I think it's the content. With 1 or 2 exceptions, the ratings leaders in the real Big East were football schools.
The following article was published early this summer. It might be too early to tell but it appears the prophecy is being fulfilled. Keep in mind that the schools that drew poor ratings had the benefit of playing the top rated schools which are longer there.
