- BTN close to a deal with Comcast but not Time Warner. Can you say Direct TV? The Big Ten Network currently reaches 30 million homes, a significant number for a fledgling channel, Ourand said. “Everybody views the Big Ten Network as having a lot of distribution challenges, because it wasn’t able to get a deal done with Comcast and Time Warner in the first year of existence,’’ Ourand said. “It’s in more than 30 million homes. By any measure in terms of cable TV, that’s a resounding success.’’
The Big Ten and Time Warner, another major cable carrier, are apparently not close to a deal, Ourand said. Other cable carriers, such as Mediacom, may follow with a deal after Comcast made the first move. - Remember Safety recruit Jeremy Finch? He commited to Michigan, then de-committed to attend Indiana (gentlemen's agreement?) then officially signed with Urban Meyer at Florida. Well, Jeremy has been busy on and off the field since then. His freshman year didn't go so well, he was moved to LB when he blew out his knee returning an INT. in the Tennessee game. He also wasn't busy enough in the class room and recently got his release to leave the Gators. The rumor says he plans to transfer to IU, not sure his grades are good enough to transfer to IU.
- Allan Iverson would have been a perfect fit at Michigan - since it seems The Michigan basketball program doesn't ever practice. How could they? They never had anywhere to? Now Bill Martin says, they have enough money for a new practice facility. The rumor that a wreaking ball used for the new luxury boxes at the Big House accidentally hit Crisler Arena was found to be false. In other news, Crisler Arena is old and terrible and needs to be knocked down.
