big 10 west coast blackout

Shame on you Comcast!!  I pay big bucks to stay with your service, much to the chagrin of my wife who says I should leave.  Make a deal with the Big 10!

@XfinityWilliam​ 

This does not answer the question I very specifically asked which is for a timeline to anticipate an agreement between Comcast/Xfinity and Fox/Big10 Network to come to an agreement concerning the West Coast teams, or at least some assurance that Comcast/Xfinity is working on it.

Dodging that question implies Xfinity/Comcast is not working on it and content with the situation, and that there is an infinite timeline to resolve it- or never.

Please clarify.

Thank you

@user_8yo40j​ The "Xfinity drones" don't know the answer any more than anyone else does. Like I said, it is standard operating procedure for neither side in the negotiation to say anything, and I mean anything, until (and unless) a deal is reached. The best answer to "What is the timeline for a resolution?" is almost certainly, "As soon as Big Ten Network accepts our reasonable offer" if you're Comcast, and, "As soon as Comcast accepts our more than reasonable terms" if you're BTN. (You can replace "Big Ten Network" with "Chicago Sports Network" if you live in Illinois; the answer is the same.)

@XfinityWilliam​ The fact remains that you're calling something the BTN that is not the full BTN, so if you're not going to provide it in full, you should at least reduce the price. Enough of the greed -- this is how you lose customers.

@Glornt I know it can be frustrating to have certain games unavailable. Games exclusive to Big 10 Network for several college teams are not available through Xfinity or Comcast Business at this time. We do not have the rights, currently, to broadcast games airing on Big 10 Network for the following teams:
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)
University of Oregon (U of O)
University of Washington (UW)
University of Southern California (USC)
We appreciate your understanding.

@user_mznl4h​ - when did Big Ten Network have the rights to a game when a non-Big Ten team was the home team? One of the conditions of being in the Big Ten is that the conference controls the school's TV rights - not the school. This is probably the main reason Notre Dame is an independent in football while an ACC member in pretty much everything else.

That was exactly my point.  And if they wanted to limit the games with the four new schools (for what is still an unjust reason) it should

have only been for the four new schools home games - not when the game is a home game with a traditional B1G school.  Because of this we have less access to games than last year for the 14 traditional B1G schools, and we are still paying the same money!!  This is a unacceptable!

@user_mznl4h​ The broadcast rights belong to the conference (and, as a result, the channel) - not to the teams themselves (well, unless it's Notre Dame). Any game on the Big Ten Network is subject to the new blackout rule regardless of whether the western team is playing a home game or an away game. BTN could have just as easily have said, "You want to play hardball? Fine - we're cutting off BTN entirely."
