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.


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.

From what I've read it's the difference between $0.10 a subscriber and $0.80 a subscriber if there is a team in the market. 8X the money adds up in a hurry especially when you look at the population base.
