It is so fun to see all these Mater Dei guys coming to Eugene. My neighbors kid is playing football there (OL), so I get to hear about them all and he is becoming a Duck fan.
Michigan St is already scheduled for Peacock.... I'd assume the Idaho and 1-2 other games will be on the BigTen Network. The BigTen+ was doing a promotion where you got the first year free. I believe you could sign up until the end of August.
I assume the BigTen Network is on Comcast like the Pac12 Network was. My in laws will want to be able to record and watch the Duck games…..
only if you pay for the premium sports package. And not the one that includes Blazers. Im about ready to pull the plug on them, but hey have been good about lowering my cost when I call and threaten to drop them all together. In fact will be calling oncer again tomorrow with regards to Big 10 network.
Dakorien is pretty good... https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_Buc51SF5r/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet STOMP
so...I suppose it's one of the least surprising things at this point.... but Xfinity and the Big-10 network are in currently in a carriage deal dispute, and as it stands right now, all Big-10 content on the Big-10 channel and possibly on FOX will be blacked out in the 'home areas' of Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA. The history of there disputes seems to be that neither side ever budges. https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/20...ork-for-oregon-washington-usc-ucla-games.html https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canza...aign=post&utm_medium=email&triedRedirect=true
it isn't just Comcast. Direct TV and Dish have both been in carriage disputes with content providers before. Pac-12...Root....Blazers....many many other examples it's infrastructure builders vs content providers and neither side seems to care or is willing to budge. In this case, football might more the needle enough. especially with the LA/USC/UCLA market being part of the dispute but the way, the same thing happened the last time the Big-10 expanded (Rutgers, Maryland) and it took years to resolve
Fuck all of them. Fuck artificial scarcity. You run ads. That should be the money available. You should be required to provide a slot for everything relevant to the local area if you offer service in that area. Anyway. Whatever. I'll just pirate the streams anyway. I don't have Comcast or any of these crooks for this exact reason. Screw them. I've opted out. I see the commercials, so I'm doing about as much as I'm willing to do at this point. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable monthly fee to get all of the content. But probably not more then $100 per season.
If Beavers and Cougs Presidents/AD's were more proactive and willing to take on several Big 12 schools a few years back, they wouldn't be in this situation. Instead, they were the only ones that voted no, from what I understand. They let their schools down thinking they could ride the coattails and then got in the way for expansion. Now they want too put the screws to the Mountain West by having teams come their way. The Beaves and Cougs (and I have grandkids at both schools) are a much better fit for MWC.
OSU tried to bail on the Pac-12 too; at the same time Oregon was considering leaving, OSU begged the Big-12 to accept them. Big-12 wasn't buying Larry Scott was the grim reaper for the Pac-12. His two biggest boosters were the presidents of ASU and OSU. When Texas and Oklahoma were considering joining the conference, OSU was one of those most opposed. When Texas and Oklahoma left the Big-12 for the SEC, several Big-12 teams came to the Pac-12 and asked to be added. The UofO voted yes; OSU voted no. If the Conference had added some Big-12 teams, it would still be alive in the arc of the erosion of the Pac-12, OSU was one of those school that always chose the path of destruction. At the same time that Oregon was working hard to build their brand nationally, OSU and OSU fans ridiculed Oregon's efforts...convinced their 'lunch-pail' way was the right way. Oregon's way led them into the Big-10. OSU's way led them into the Mountain West
