shockingly low tv rating

is it really that shocking. Indiana even with a national championship is not a sexy name for viewers. Its still going to be about the NAMES unless an Indiana is playing another name school. Matched up against all those other games why would anyone want to tune into a bloodbath

They have to put something live on BTN. Live content is king.

true but in those markets, you don't put IU vs Rutgers on BTN. It's IU's lowest rated game all year at 500k. ESPiN does it smart and coordinates the matchups with other likely viewing options.

BTN is a national channel. I don't think you can delineate markets.

correct however, BTN consistently delivers lower ratings that are less than the major networks for the same teams. BIG has a BTN problem and it's not distribution
