it would be if it was remotely true, the extra cost of the BTN would be minimal in some sports package and there will be an SECN soon as well.
uh, 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. That's not the same as it being "in some sports pacakage" (which is where the BTN is currently in my viewing area). I see no way around the eventuality I'm going to be paying for BTN in the future if I want to keep ESPN, TBS, etc. Like I said - Big Ten tax
And by the way, an SECN will not end up on basic cable in Maryland. Not a good comparison.
I'm not sweating the couple extra bucks...honestly I just resent where it's going to go

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.

Who cares? The B1GN won't end up on basic cable in Louisiana or Alabama or Florida.
