CBS Acquires A Few Big East Basketball Telecasts

Fox Sports today has announced that an agreement has been reached with CBS Sports to sublicense up to 30 Big East Men's basketball games to CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network.

The Agreement begins with the 2013-14 basketball season and includes two telecasts on CBS and 18 telecasts on CBS Sports Network.

The Big East is what Fox Sports 1 is going to hang their hat on this winter, so this is a surprising move.  Fox Sports must be confident enough in their inventory of live sporting events to sublicense game telecasts to not effect their existing inventory.  Not to mention, in gives a boost in programming for CBS Sports Network.

You can get a complete list of Big East games to be televised on CBS or CBS Sports Network at the link above.
