Chris, we have the upper trier Comcast bundle….this summer we added the B10 for an additional $10 a month….ALL of the west coast team games carried by the B10 are blacked out, even the rebroadcast…we spent a morning in the XFINITY store discussing this with a very knowledgeable representative…..it’s all about the amount $, per game, per viewer, that was negotiated, when the 4 teams joined the B10…..now, the B10 wants more..Comcast declined…until that gets settled, NO Comcast user (even with the extended package) will see the West coast teams on the B10 network. I’m not interested in watching Rutgers play Maryland….we will find a sports bar with Direct Tv & give them our business….

Agreed.

Big 10 is blacking out. Not Comcast.

Big 10 wants Comcast to pay more...all subscribers paying more.

When this was Pac 12 you had 2 schools in the mix. Now you have one school driving up cable rates for every Comcast subscriber. That's a tough sell.

I dumped Comcast last spring. I'm fine

The real issue is most areas do not have an alternative provider for internet. I do.

Correct! Our HOA provides our cable service (Comcast) fee is included in their negotiated rate…we have no choice…to get another cable service would cost us between the 2, approx $1800 a year ( for a lot of junk we don’t watch) …so looking for a local sports bar to help out their business!

You could just get a streamer for football season. Then cancel. YouTube has a $57.99 sign up rate for 3 months.

Wouldn't be $1,800. Just about $250
