Fox College Hoops


Fox College Hoops is the blanket title used for Fox Sports broadcasts of college basketball by Fox and its cable networks. Although college basketball telecasts had been carried by Fox Sports Networks in the past, the Fox College Hoops branding was introduced in 1994 with the expansion of coverage to Fox and Fox Sports 1.
Games on Fox and FS1 include rights to the Big East, Big Ten, and Pac-12, as well as the early-season Las Vegas Invitational and Las Vegas Classic.

History

In 2013, Fox reached a 12-year deal to broadcast games from the Big East Conference. CBS Sports sub-licensed rights to additional Big East games, mostly airing on CBS Sports Network.
Since 2014, as part of its contract with the conference, Fox holds rights to 22 Pac-12 basketball games per-season, and splits coverage of the Men's basketball tournament with ESPN and Pac-12 Network.
In 2014, the main Fox broadcast network first aired the early-season Las Vegas Invitational and Las Vegas Classic events. The following year, Fox Sports acquired both events outright.
In 2017, Fox added coverage of selected Big Ten Conference games as part of a larger six-year contract, alongside ESPN and CBS.
Beginning in the 2020–21 season, Fox will hold a share of the Mountain West Conference's basketball and football packages, split with CBS.

Theme music

On December 7, 2018, it was announced that Fox would use John Tesh's "Roundball Rock"—the theme music of the former NBA on NBC—as its theme music for selected telecasts.
