Two of the top three in the RPI are Villanova and Xavier, who had most of their Big East games on Fox or FS1, with some on CBS Sports Network and none on an ESPN channel. Fox isn't insignificant if you want to watch teams who could be champion.

The problem with NESN (and all of the regional sports networks) is that if I want to watch a VCU or Mason game... nope because I don't live in Virginia so I don't get MASN. I'd hope that ESPN could help solve that problem.

I just think it's ridiculous that I can watch a Sun Belt game no problem, yet I have to go through all these hoops (pun intended) to watch games from a multi-bid conference.
Atlantic 10 fans shouldn't complain about TV. NBC Sports Network has Atlantic 10 tripleheaders. I'm a fan of Hofstra in the CAA, which is two spots below the Atlantic 10 in the Conference RPI, and has no TV deal. College of Charleston is ahead of 12 out of 14 Atlantic 10 teams in RPI and 6 out of 14 Atlantic 10 teams in attendance. Fordham, who is bad and averages under 40% the attendance of College of Charleston, has 4 out of 18 Atlantic 10 games on national TV and three more on a regional sports network in another area. George Mason, who averages a little higher attendance than College of Charleston but is a much worse team, has 8 Atlantic 10 games on national TV and 3 or MASN which is available in their area. Do those teams deserve to be on TV more than College of Charleston? The Atlantic 10 has 65 conference games (51.6%) on national TV. I'm confident that neither the Mountain West, which 1 spot ahead of the Atlantic 10 in the Conference RPI, nor the Mid-American, which is slightly behind the Atlantic 10, has anywhere near half their games on national TV.
