    I still don't understand why the Beavers decreased their stadium capacity below the requirements to join any of the other Power 5 conferences.

    Got rid of that 24/7 migraine a couple of years ago and don't miss them at all. So many other options without dealing with their abject lack of giving a crap about so many customers.

    There are/were plans to do another renovation to add the seats back but as i understand those plans are now on hold and possibly will mot take place? Really bad timing.

    Did you not see the :wink: emoji? My comment wasn't serious. I completely understand why the Pac 12 schools left the conference. I may not like it, but I get it. Similar to why I understand why Jonathan Smith left us for Michigan St.
    I agree with both your responses.

    I can't imagine anything more stupid that Comcast could do on this. Hey, Duck fans, here's an even bigger incentive to switch to Hulu.

    I have Comcast...I'm no fan but there is no alternative but Comcast for broadband where I live

    I bundle Internet+Voice+TV. The total cost of my TV portion is around $105 (that includes the box). However, I get a 3-product discount of $45 that I'd lose if I cancelled my TV. Meaning, I'd save $60 a month

    Youtube TV is $73/month; Fubo is $79/month and Hulu + Live TV is $77/month (need the Live TV for the BTN. So, contrary to conventional wisdom, cancelling my Comcast TV and going to "cheaper" alternatives would actually cost me more money. I also get a package discount from Comcast for HBO+HBO Max+Showime. That's more for my wife than me but I'm guessing I'd have to pay more for those 3 premium channels

    I'd also be a little skeptical this is all on Comcast. Disputes over carraige deals are very common. Dish has had them; Direct TV has had them; Charter has had them; Verizon has had them; so has Cox. There just seems to be some pretty common friction between infrastructure providers and content providers

    I'd also be a little cautious about heaping all the blame on Comcast. They might deserve it but this isn't Comcast vs Big-10 Network; this is Comcast vs FOX

    Comcast doesn't care. They didn't care when they bumped Root Sports to their top tier package a few weeks before the start of the Blazer season.

    You can get the Hulu + Live TV bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+ for $76.99 per month with adds and $89.99 per month without ads. That’s live tv plus a lot of good streaming.

    They care if thousands of Duck fans wave bye-bye and tell them to go quack themselves.

    I record all the sports I watch, and begin watching either sometime during the game or after. I know nothing about services other than Comcast. Can I record the games and view them later on these other providers?

    According to the Googles you can record on Youtube TV. I'm looking at switching from Xfinity to YTTV.

    Captain Obvious over here
    Before you Comcast guys switch to a new TV provider, I'd suggest you wait to see where the Blazers land so you can make sure your new streaming service has that channel along with the Big 10 Network for your Ducks.
