I work for Verizon now (the federal network side, not the cell phone side), and I can see why you no longer work for Verizon...

Here is the responce I recieved from Dish network. If you have dish I encourage you to ask them about it as well (the more people asking about it helps our chances of getting it).
"Thank you for your e-mail. Specific information regarding your request for Big Ten Network is not currently available. We would like to add that channel, to make viewers like you happy, but we do not know if or when this will happen. We will gladly forward your request to our Programming Department for further consideration.
We thank you for your input as we continually review our options in order to provide a compelling lineup.
Your business is greatly appreciated and we thank you for allowing us to be of assistance to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please refer to www.dishnetwork.com or reply to this email.
Sincerely,

My only point is don't buy a product on what they promise you, buy a product on their current offerings.

I didn't buy it based on promises, heard about it after I bought it.
