Honestly they should move ESPN and all sports programming to pay channels and let those who want to watch the channels pay for the programming content. Those massive contracts that the leagues get for broadcasting rights should not be paid for by people who don't watch the crap.

As a whole, I think sports teams should have to pay a 100% health care tax on every single penny earned. Why should the American public have to pay once for the games via a portion of their cable bill, then pay again later when the people who shoveled lard coated fat logs down during the games on TV have their grabbers and get rushed to the ER where they find out they don't have insurance and well...the taxpayers get to eat that bill again...

The Big Ten network did the EXACT same thing. Having a parent company buy big games and give them to a smaller network....on TV or in the internet; Then charge TV providers up the whazoo for broadcasting rights for the small network.

I hope my friends in the PAC10/ACC/Big12/BigEast/SEC never have to deal with this.

Aside from having a game now and then, will anyone actually watch espn360 on their computer?
Yes, because you in essence get ESPN Game Plan for free! Why pay $25 a weekend (or buy the full season) when you can watch it on your computer for basically free?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Nightmares-of-the-Big-Ten-Network-21906914 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:33:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Nightmares-of-the-Big-Ten-Network-21906314 said by baineschile:

HTPC?
HDMI to the TV?
Wireless laptop away from TV room?

Not that I will do it, but someone might want it.
