T1B

I don't have a link, but the fact they don't have a deal with Comcast yet is pissing me off.

2 games a year for each team will be on this piece of crap and no one will be able to watch it.

I am bitter. 37 days and still no deal.

Two words.

DirecTV.

Maybe that's one word.

Firstly, I refuse to switch providers and incur costly penalties. I have Dish Network, and that's how it's going to stay. I certainly hope that Dish gets a deal, but I'm doubtful at this point.

Secondly - I think the Big 10 has done an AWFUL job with this so far. Every team in the conference has a bunch of folks wondering if they'll be able to see games or not.

Thirdly, I would like to watch Big Ten football games - but do I want to watch Illinois Women's fencing practice? Unless they practice in lingerie, probably not...

So I'm with you - FUCK the Big Ten Network. BTN BAD.

It looks like I'd have a better chance of watching the BTN in Tuscon than in Ann Arbor.

If it works, it will be great, but right now I am skeptical.

I love the idea of the conference having a channel but the idea of paying a couple bucks extra a month for it is stupid. I've currently got the sports mini-pack that Comcast offers in my area where I can get NFL Network, NBA TV, Fox Soccer Channel and Fox College Sports Pacific, Central and Atlantic. I wonder if there is a chance any games from the BTN will end up on the Central channel from time to time.
