Bobber, they won't have any money to share as nobody is subscribing to their network!
There are several small cable companies in Iowa (I do not know the % of viewers, I know Mediacom is by far the largest cable provider in Iowa) that signed with the Big 10 network, but I am hearing they were 'strongarmed' meaning the rate the Big 10 network was seeking may go up if they do not sign right now. I thought I also heard that some of those local cable companies are now trying to get out of those deals.
Once again something related to the Big 10 thinks they are better then they really are.
