Ice Cube Acknowledges Interest In RSNs During "Tonight Show" Visit

Big3 co-Founder Ice Cube acknowledged his interest in the 22 Fox RSN’s that are for sale by Disney. The rapper/actor appeared on Friday's episode of "The Tonight Show" and said, “It's time for a new day in sports, and who's more kind of entwined in sports and culture than your boy Ice Cube? So let's do it.” When asked what he would do different with the RSNs, Ice Cube said, “Oh man, we're just going to do it better than what's being done. The way they're ran now, they just show the games and basically show color bars, so I know we can do better than that” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 12/7).
