Minnesota Football: Have Comcast? You Might Not Have the Big Ten Network For Long

Back in April, Comcast took the Big Ten network out of their sports and entertainment package for states that are not included in the Big Ten footprint. So if you are a Minnesota or say Purdue fan living in California or Washington with Comcast (who is the main cable provider in each state) you no longer can watch your teams play. Well BTN President Mark Silverman dropped a bit of an alarming bombshell at the Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday. There is a decent probability that Comcast will drop BTN from its broadcast lineup through out the entire country, not just the non-Big Ten footprint beginning on September 1st.
