[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1403072, member: 527609"] I despise Comcast, but let's be very clear here. Comcast would be OVERJOYED to offer BTN on an a la carte sports tier that college sports fans can pay a little extra for and watch to their heart's content. It is the Big Ten that is refusing to do that, holding their games and their fans hostage in order to extract $1 a month out of every grandma in the entire area who wouldn't be able to find BTN if they tried. That is why BTN makes money, not because people are actually watching. It's a scam, it has always been a scam, and while they may get their way this time, it is only a matter of time until the scam falls apart. [/QUOTE]
