Nobody gives a shit about watching ANY women's sports (except softball...lol) and men's sports outside of football and basketball (and the occassional baseball game) are worthless to spend your time watching too. So you have 1 or 2 football games on a Saturday and a couple hoops games each week. Outside of that it is all worthless programming.
pretty much you hit it dead on. OSU won't be on TV the first 2 weeks and there are a TON of people in Columbus that won't even be able to watch the game. But that is the world we are quickly becoming. Everyone is out to make a buck at the expense of sanity. I personally hope the thing tanks big time and the big10 gets egg all over its face.

I have Comcast here in Texas where Big 12 rules, BUT, there are a TON of Big 10 alums down here who would love to have that channel. The Big 10 is going to lose a lot of recruits on this.... SEC and Big 12 coaches will tell recruits...."your relatives and friends wont be able to see you play most of the time if you go to MEEECHIGAN or PURDUE, but if you go to SEC School you will be seen almost every week on some free TV channel."
Pisses me off.... If it were not for FULL COURT, I would have seen maybe 2 Purdue Bball games last year.
EAT ME Fox, Big Ten Network, Comcast etc.....
