Time Warner Cable confirms that the Big Ten is requiring that Warner Cable carry the Big Ten Network as part of a package deal, and charge everyone (whether they are football fans or not) an extra $1.10 per month if they live in one of the 8 states in which there is a Big Ten team. But if you live in one of the other 42 states like West Virginia, the Big Ten only requires a cable company there to pay an extra .10 cents per month.
Were Warner Cable to take them up on this offer, the Big Ten would firk $237 million dollars out of Big Ten fans per year. The Big Ten’s greed knows no end. It is my fervent hope that no cable companies pick up those games, that they lose millions in what they would have received from simply using the highly profitable arrangement for showing the games last year, and that those within the Big Ten who have insisted upon this extortionate situation lose their jobs.

Two turnovers at home and Penn State only scores 17 points? And then they say “We’re back!”?
It will take more than a video of a game from 2005 to beat OSU this year. Though, after we beat Penn State, you can still watch your video and imagine what might have been, if it makes you feel better.
