I think my point of view, shared by many others, is sinking in. Just because you are on satellite, doesn't mean that anyone watches you. What percent of DTV subscribers have the sports pack?

The deal is still a disaster. Just less of a disaster than when it didn't have a satellite deal.
I agree. The only way it works is, 1. the channel is picked up in the 200 range just like the big 10 channel and 2. The conference can parley this into a game of the week on CBS at a 10 am start time. If these don't happen, I will be glad I can watch the games but this does nothing for the visibility and growth of the conference.
