I think it is you know. Looking at the coverage this weekend and yesterday BT Sports were showing West Brom vs West Ham and then Crystal Palace vs Liverpool. Today the BBC are showing Aston Villa vs Leicester. All games that we see every week in the Premier League. I could understand if they were big games too but neither of those 3 are big. The only game I've seen that makes sense is Arsenal vs Boro. Although the Arsenal vs Hull game made no sense either.
One of the great things about the FA Cup is the opportunity to watch the smaller clubs in the spotlight. It was great to see Cambridge get a game on tv against Utd. There aren't enough games like this being shown on FA Cup weekend. The lower league clubs need the money yet the Premier League clubs are getting most of the coverage. Not only is it a blow for English football in general but it has taken some of the magic out of the FA Cup.
