I have had it for several seasons and maybe have watched one quarter of one game on it. Just too many better options available.

There are a lot of Tampa kids on the Indiana roster and it's cool to see them for like 5 minutes but that is it.

I have it and have never watched it. I am only interested in AAC, Pac12 and some Big East basketball games.

Whereas the Big 10 Network plays all their games early.

Exactly why I love PAC12 sports! Late night programming.

Do you live out West or do you get PAC-N in Texas?

Spectrum? I would have to pay an extra $10 a month for it.

AT&T Uverse

Uverse might be the biggest piece of garbage in the world.

This might stabilize more conferences since expansion is now getting risky.

But that's the thing...there are a ton of Big Ten Alumni that live down South (especially in FL).

Comcast just decided that the cost/charge wasn't worth it in the long-run.

It certainly seems to be working very hard to maintain that position.

I live in Big Ten country and I don't even watch it.

Even with some alumni pockets...the overall ratings on that channel have to suck in the south.

1. SEC Network - Most quality content.
2. ACC Network - TBD - Seems to have quality content, but it's still a digital network.
3. PAC Network - May be alright, but no one really knows since most aren't awake to watch anything on it.
4. B1G Network - Good for watching non-revenue sports. Bad for watching revenue sports.
5. Longhorn Network - Non-Texas fans don't care.

overrated

Just read New York isn’t considered part of the big 10 area by Comcast. So much for adding Rutgers and delivering the NY market.

Doubt anyone there will even notice? Do New Yorkers even know what the B10 Network is? Do they even know Rutgers is in the B10?

No and No. But to be fair, Comcast isn't very prevalent in NY anyways.

Yes.
