It's good for fans to be able to see all the games. I will grant you that. But it's not good for the games to be on an obscure channel that very few people have access to.
That's why the Comcast situation sucked. DirecTV distribution fixes that problem. The people who want to watch football have the sports tier. The AP and college coaches and the bowl's have the sports tier. Is this as widely viewed as the ESPN deal? No. But who cares? The people who are important to the future of the MWC will see it. That's the big thing. Who knows what happens from there. ESPN started off very slow also. Took ESPN 2 years to get decent sat and cable coverage. I now know were every game can be viewed. Stability is a wonderful thing.
