GIVE US THE GAMES,
NOT THE HUSTLE…
Putting Fans First is a new coalition of sports superfans and consumers uniting to address the soaring cost of sports programming.
The new Big Ten Network (BTN) is Exhibit A. Having sold its best games to ABC and ESPN, the Big Ten now wants to charge all of us – fans and consumers alike – hundreds of millions of dollars a year for games that are either “fifth tier,” according to sports columnists, or that we used to be able to see for free. In fact, BTN would be the second most expensive national network!
Leading cable companies reportedly want to carry the network in a way that lets sports fans pay for it without imposing the costs on all consumers. But BTN is saying NO, unless they agree to BTN's outrageous prices and anti-consumer conditions.
Whether you're a superfan or a budget-conscious consumer, this is a bad idea. And it may be only the beginning ... so we're united to tell BTN and others to give us the games and not the hustle.
