The new Big East division will feature  the ‘Catholic 7′ schools that broke away from the old Big East earlier this month – Providence, Georgetown, St. John’s, Villanova, Marquette, Seton Hall and DePaul – as well as three newly announced members Butler, Creighton and Xavier.

It was recently announced that Fox Sports has officially purchased the rights to coverage of the new Big East. An outstanding sports business move by Fox Sports. The deal is a 12-year agreement and comes one day after ESPN purchased the rights to coverage of the old Big East. The agreement grants Fox Sports rights to all conference-controlled men’s basketball games, select rights to women’s basketball, all Olympic sports and extensive rights for highlights and to produce ancillary programming.

Fox Sports 1 will be the primary outlet for the Big East coverage, broadcasting over 100 hours of Big East games including the Big East tournament. With the agreement, Fox Sports now holds media rights associated with five major college conferences: Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA.

World Baseball Classic Fails to Sell Out

sports salesDespite a new World Baseball Classic champion (WBC) in the Dominican Republic – who went undefeated in the tournament – and continued support and participation from nations all across the globe, the WBC failed to sell out its games in San Francisco.

AT&T Park – home of the Giants – housed the semi-finals and finals for the WBC and the attendance numbers were not as high as expected.

Tickets to the games were being sold for as little as $5, but the price decrease still didn’t help get the butts in the seats.

A major factor in low ticket sales was the abscence of Team USA and Team Japan, but with the local fanbase still unfamiliar with the tournament, the numbers were bound to suffer – this past event was the third of its kind. The semi-final game between Puerto Rico and Japan which housed 33,863 fans was the smallest crowd inside AT&T field since September of 2010.

March Madness Needs to Work on Sports Social Media

sports social mediaMarch Madness is one of the biggest tournaments annually in sports. Every season hardcore, casual and once in a wile fans tune in to watch brackets get busted, Cinderella stories develop and game-winning shots sail through the mesh as the best college basketball teams in the country vie for the National championship.

The energy, excitement and enthusiasm of the event is right up there with the playoffs of professional sports such as football, baseball and hockey, yet teams of the March Madness aren’t taking advantage of playing on the big stage when it comes to their social media.

Only 29 of 64 basketball teams in this year’s tourney have both a Facebook and Twitter presence, which is incredibly hard to believe and some of these teams are reputable names such as the Syracuse Orange, Arizona Wildcats, New Mexico Lobos, Kansas St. Wildcats and VCU Rams.

Collect Baseball Cards…on the Web

sports technologyFormer Major League baseball star Shawn Green is the producer of a new virtual card-collecting game called Dream Nine.

Users collect and trade their favorite baseball stars and try to put together the perfect team

They can take advantage of combos that are triggered when you earn cards that play perfectly together, like starting both the Giants shortstop and Giants second baseman in order to turn quicker double plays (as opposed to the Giants shortstop and Dodgers second baseman, who wouldn’t be on the same page).

The game is live on Facebook and created by Konami.

Konami is introducing a slew of game play enhancements that should hit online by June 1, including new cards, improved scouting, and microgames that will bring a fastest-finger competition to the art of picking off baserunners.

    could look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news titles
    to get people to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about what
