Big Eleven network

Saturday, I was at home watching football on Direct TV. I happened to flip over to the Big Ten Network to see Penn State putting a drilling on Buffalo. That's compelling TV.

And the BTN wants to charge Time Warner $4 a subscriber but they don't want Time to pass along the cost to the consumer. That's mighty, US government like.

Of course, we get more than a mediocre PSU-Buffalo match up. We get replays of the Florida Atlantic beat down of Minnesota; or a replay of the Iowa State beating of Iowa, or Duke whoopin' on Northwestern.

I think I know why the BTN wanted TW to offer it for free. Nobody would pay to watch that crap.
