Option 1 - Go to any good sports bar and they will have BTN - Eat, drink and be merry in the company of fellow Buckeyes. Phone ahead, ask the manager!
Option 2 - Go to a friend's house who has DirecTV - Eat drink and be merry in the company of fellow Buckeyes.
Option 3 - Go to the stadium, get a ticket. Hiney Gate - Eat drink and be merry in the company of fellow Buckeyes.
OR
Option 4 - Ask what to do on an internet message board. (Bad Idea)

this is nothing more than the continued commercialization of college athletics. programs were founded to keep young men in shape post ww1 for the next big war. now its pay per view for broadcast fine, heck not long ago only 2 or so games even were on tv. either pay our shut up. heck im not going to lie it turns me off to college athletics to about the same level that people complaining that the kids should get paid, they get tuition and are stipend, not long ago kids paid their entire way and no athlete got a scholarship.
you have two options:
pay the bill and get btn or stfu and put make the choice with your wallet and say no.
personally i dont know what i am going to do this year since i dont have tickets. part of me though is feeling apathetic and i may not go anywhere to watch the games, but time will tell.

Unlike the poster this was intended for, I totally agree with your comment. Whining about this stuff is....silly.
I'm no fan of BTN, DTV, cable, or any of it, but whining about this stuff is pathetic.

no see two issues here.
1 it wasnt long ago when you saw the bucks on tv 2 times are year, and hell go back to the 90s and a couple of games wouldnt be on tv each year.
2 you can see every game if you want. cancel your time warner account and get direct tv.
you have options, people just refuse to act. big people act, little people react...

Frustration is very understandable.
Asking questions that a read of the thread (or a search of the thread) would answer is what really spurred the recent badinage.
And as for BTN taking the fans hostage, isn't it the case that it takes two to dance that tango? TW or Comcast could have had this deal rolled up and smoked with BTN weeks ago.
