inside much (or all?) of the current Big 10 footprint, the BTN has managed to get on basic cable. Thus, everybody with basic cable is paying for it.
how much? a few cents at most probably.

That's not the same as it being "in some sports pacakage" (which is where the BTN is currently in my viewing area
What's your viewing area? It won't be on basic cable in SEC states. Say it's a B1G tax is like saying there is a Lifetime tax or whatever, the cost per channel, espeically for stuff like that is minimal.

And by the way, an SECN will not end up on basic cable in Maryland. Not a good comparison.
Who cares? The B1GN won't end up on basic cable in Louisiana or Alabama or Florida.

I don't remember the exact rates, but it's something like $0.03 per subscriber for a state without a Big Ten team and significantly more, like $0.20 per subscriber, for a state like Ohio or Michigan with a Big Ten team.
$0.20 per subscriber adds up quickly when you're talking about large cable systems in New Jersey and Maryland.

Pretty big difference in the number of households between the NJ/NY/Maryland/DC markets and those you mentioned.
