[QUOTE="Deleted member 643761, post: 1403110"] Yep. I said this back in the last round of negotiation. Hell, even people who love big ten sports aren't watching that much BTN over the course of a year. In an a la carte streaming era, all these negotiations are about who's going to blink first. People who are getting stuff "free" want to keep getting it free. The purveyors of the "free" stuff hope that Comcast and other providers will not want to piss off people. Comcast certainly doesn't want to give people an additional excuse to cut the cord. BTN, which could do more in the way of streaming is holding back in part to try to keep pressure on Comcast. It's been fun while it lasted, and of course, we're likely to have plenty of options in the future, but we'll be paying more for them, as we probably should. [/QUOTE]
