How in the world does the Final Four end up on TBS?...

[maroonmania]

has college basketball fallen so far that its biggest day of the year doesn't even warrant being on the major network?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Part of the agreement to get all of the 1st and 2nd round games on tv with turner and cbs.

[Coach34]

Because thats how shitty college basketball is now- they arent allowed to play on a major network anymore

[Harrydawg]

I could not believe that the final 4 is being played on TRU TV.......

No it's because TBS and CBS split rights so TBS gets Saturday's games and CBS gets the championship game.

once an SEC school hired an assistant from a bad Clemson team they knew it was over.

Regardless of your opinion of Rick Ray, that is a funny post.

Same way a Farm Bureau sign ends up behind home plate.

Funny thing is...TBS is not even a basic cable channel anymore. At least not in my neck of the woods.

[Martianlander]

They got more money splitting it up.

[DownwardDawg]

I was wondering the same thing. Hell, I couldn't find the damn game yesterday!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Political Hack again.

[Pollodawg]

Because it's basketball, and nobody gives a shit?

[dogshiek]

The coverage has been turrible!

CBS gets the game tonight.

You could watch the Semi-Final games on 3 channels..
TBS had the regular broadcast while Tru TV and TNT had a broadcast tailored to each team with their announcers.
Rex Champan was the color guy for UK..

Next year the roles will flip. CBS will get the Final Four games and TBS gets the Natty...think about that for a second.

I loved reading all the idiots complaining on twitter, etc about the "biased" broadcasts

[dickiedawg]

At least it's not on TruTV or CBS sports network. I don't get either of those and have a pretty big package (snicker).

Same with NBC sports. I about lost it when they put the gold medal hockey game on nbcs.
ETA: semifinal game, not gold medal.

[DownwardDawg]

Is the game tonight on Lifetime Telivision?

Believe so and Barbara Walters is doing the play by play.
