If you notice in the upper right corner of each post there is a line of green chicklets. That is your "Big Ten Pleasure Meter". It helps those of you with the BTN communicate with those of us without the BTN just how much you are enjoying the new network.
Red indicates you are having a great deal of pleasure. |

I agree with the sentiments that jwins expressed. Both sides are trying to capture as much of this value stream as they can.
Of course, that value stream is there because we are willing to pay. And to me, that is where the Big Ten Network will fail.
People want to see the leading Big Ten teams and they want to watch them play football and men's basketball. Few people are as fanatical as we are about their schools and the Big Ten is in a bit of a down time right now, schedule-wise and prestige-wise after the Buckeye and Vulvarine meltdowns in the bowls.
So, my guess is that this deal diminishes the top Big Ten teams because it will cut the availability of games to fans and outsiders with an interest in the league. I think the top Big Ten teams will begin to realize that it has hurt their national profile. Time will tell. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think so.
