The "Big 10" Channel just launched.
A channel dedicated to showing just the college athletics of the eleven teams in the Big Ten conference
That will include a lot of repeats...
I am slightly flabbergasted at a university consortium negotiating such a deal, it just doesn't seem quite right, just hope it is lucrative enough to be worth it.
They could not have picked a better opening weekend, what with PSU annihilating their opponents on a picture perfect afternoon.
But, the channel just keep showing the Appalachian State at Michigan University game over and over again.
It wasn't that good a game, even if the ending was quite exciting.

The first table is the good one, as it explains why the college football "championship" is so messed up. It lists…
So, remember a month or two back when everybody was whining about how Michigan got screwed out of a shot at the Mythical National Championship? They lost to USC last night.
USC, you'll recall, demonstrated their inferiority to Michigan by losing to UCLA, which is how they ended up in the Rose Bowl…
As a longtime Illinois fan, let me assure you there is a substantial market of people who would be happy to pay for a TV channel that did nothing but broadcast Michigan losses :)

This coach did not go with Fry to Iowa.
