Comcast Holds the Line on Big Ten

By Bob Fernandez, Staff Writer -- Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/10/2007

When the Big Ten Network went live in late August, its organizers say, they had high hopes that its coverage of the storied athletic conference would be happily received by cable companies seeking to attract passionate college sports fans.

But the young network quickly ran into a force with the raw power of one of Penn State coach Joe Paterno's 315-pound defensive tackles - Comcast Corp.

The nation's largest cable company has refused to carry the network on its 24-million-customer system, blacking out some Big Ten football games for millions of fans.

The biggest Big Ten games - think Penn State vs. Ohio State - will continue to appear on ESPN and ABC, but most others are now the exclusive province of the new network that Comcast has so far declined to carry.
