The difference is that Mizzou actually carries the markets attached to it.

Exactly. Another top 10 market.

um, no.

That's not how it works.

The companies do not "have to" carry the B1G network. What it does is increase the subscriber fee for cable companies in Maryland if they do choose to carry it.

In other words, the subscriber fee for the B1G network is higher in states with a B1G school than in states without a B1G school. So, the hope for the B1G is that they can convince the Maryland and New Jersey cable providers to carry the B1G network, thus increasing their revenue.
