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

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

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

    Regardless of your opinion of Rick Ray, that is a funny post.
    The Plantation has never won an SEC regular season Championship in ANY men's sport with an integrated team. That defines irrelevance.

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

    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.

    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.
