not sure i blame comcast on this one...BTN is charging a fortune to carry the network, and you only get to see the shtein games, all the good Penn State games are on network TV
100% true, i just dont like Comcast saying they are doing it to save the consumer.  They dont give a shtein about consumers unless they arent shifting over to Fios

You've obviously never watched women's volleyball.  Granted, they aren't in bikinis, but they're in some tight shorts.  C'mon - they all bend over waiting for the serve!
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

directv has it cause its owned by newscorp and bigten network is 49% owned by....newscorp

it essentially comes down to a silly pissing match between the big ten and comcast. outside of a few times a year, big ten network is a vast wasteland of crap. but there are a few games people want to see every now and then, though not big games, those still go to espn/2/abc. so why would comcast pay all this money to put some shteinhole channel they dont own on basic cable so people can watch it for 3 hours a week a few times a year? no sense to do it.

big ten network was a horrible idea. at the least, they should syndicate the games out to local channels (ch 17 and 29 are owned by fox, csn has a relationship with fox sports net) so philly people can watch the penn state games. but that would essentially be a victory for comcast, and the big ten network cant let that happen.

blame the idiots who thought having big ten network would be a good idea. it can work if ALL they games go to big ten network, like michigan-osu and such. but they would lose so much money if that happened, so it never will. no one wants to watch northwestern vs. perdue mens lacrosse. no one. its a horrid idea and will end up being a huge waste of money.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

For people outside Philly its a good channel MDS, but in philly it makes no sense

ice grillin you

please dont tell me youre saying the big ten network is a good channel anywhere in this galaxy

im certainly no comcast fan but they are 100% right in this case...the big ten should be RPG'ed for trying to charge for that disgrace of a channel

hell no, i'm just saying its nice to watch games that i otherwise wouldn not have been able to watch.  I dont have comcast, i have Direct Tv solely because comcast sucks where i live.  They dont offer HD/On Demand/ or CSN Philly.  Direct TV gives me the channel and didnt increase my bill, just as MDS said, its FOX owned.
