so...I suppose it's one of the least surprising things at this point....

but Xfinity and the Big-10 network are in currently in a carriage deal dispute, and as it stands right now, all Big-10 content on the Big-10 channel and possibly on FOX will be blacked out in the 'home areas' of Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA. The history of there disputes seems to be that neither side ever budges.

it isn't just Comcast. Direct TV and Dish have both been in carriage disputes with content providers before. Pac-12...Root....Blazers....many many other examples

it's infrastructure builders vs content providers and neither side seems to care or is willing to budge. In this case, football might more the needle enough. especially with the LA/USC/UCLA market being part of the dispute

but the way, the same thing happened the last time the Big-10 expanded (Rutgers, Maryland) and it took years to resolve

Fuck all of them. Fuck artificial scarcity. You run ads. That should be the money available. You should be required to provide a slot for everything relevant to the local area if you offer service in that area.

Anyway. Whatever. I'll just pirate the streams anyway. I don't have Comcast or any of these crooks for this exact reason.

Screw them. I've opted out. I see the commercials, so I'm doing about as much as I'm willing to do at this point. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable monthly fee to get all of the content. But probably not more then $100 per season.

If Beavers and Cougs Presidents/AD's were more proactive and willing to take on several Big 12 schools a few years back, they wouldn't be in this situation. Instead, they were the only ones that voted no, from what I understand. They let their schools down thinking they could ride the coattails and then got in the way for expansion. Now they want too put the screws to the Mountain West by having teams come their way. The Beaves and Cougs (and I have grandkids at both schools) are a much better fit for MWC.

OSU tried to bail on the Pac-12 too; at the same time Oregon was considering leaving, OSU begged the Big-12 to accept them. Big-12 wasn't buying

Larry Scott was the grim reaper for the Pac-12. His two biggest boosters were the presidents of ASU and OSU. When Texas and Oklahoma were considering joining the conference, OSU was one of those most opposed. When Texas and Oklahoma left the Big-12 for the SEC, several Big-12 teams came to the Pac-12 and asked to be added. The UofO voted yes; OSU voted no. If the Conference had added some Big-12 teams, it would still be alive

in the arc of the erosion of the Pac-12, OSU was one of those school that always chose the path of destruction. At the same time that Oregon was working hard to build their brand nationally, OSU and OSU fans ridiculed Oregon's efforts...convinced their 'lunch-pail' way was the right way. Oregon's way led them into the Big-10. OSU's way led them into the Mountain West

I still don't understand why the Beavers decreased their stadium capacity below the requirements to join any of the other Power 5 conferences.

only if you pay for the premium sports package. And not the one that includes Blazers. Im about ready to pull the plug on them, but hey have been good about lowering my cost when I call and threaten to drop them all together. In fact will be calling oncer again tomorrow with regards to Big 10 network.

Got rid of that 24/7 migraine a couple of years ago and don't miss them at all. So many other options without dealing with their abject lack of giving a crap about so many customers.

There are/were plans to do another renovation to add the seats back but as i understand those plans are now on hold and possibly will mot take place? Really bad timing.

Did you not see the :wink: emoji? My comment wasn't serious. I completely understand why the Pac 12 schools left the conference. I may not like it, but I get it. Similar to why I understand why Jonathan Smith left us for Michigan St.
I agree with both your responses.

I can't imagine anything more stupid that Comcast could do on this. Hey, Duck fans, here's an even bigger incentive to switch to Hulu.

I have Comcast...I'm no fan but there is no alternative but Comcast for broadband where I live

I bundle Internet+Voice+TV. The total cost of my TV portion is around $105 (that includes the box). However, I get a 3-product discount of $45 that I'd lose if I cancelled my TV. Meaning, I'd save $60 a month

Youtube TV is $73/month; Fubo is $79/month and Hulu + Live TV is $77/month (need the Live TV for the BTN. So, contrary to conventional wisdom, cancelling my Comcast TV and going to "cheaper" alternatives would actually cost me more money. I also get a package discount from Comcast for HBO+HBO Max+Showime. That's more for my wife than me but I'm guessing I'd have to pay more for those 3 premium channels

I'd also be a little skeptical this is all on Comcast. Disputes over carraige deals are very common. Dish has had them; Direct TV has had them; Charter has had them; Verizon has had them; so has Cox. There just seems to be some pretty common friction between infrastructure providers and content providers

I'd also be a little cautious about heaping all the blame on Comcast. They might deserve it but this isn't Comcast vs Big-10 Network; this is Comcast vs FOX

You can get the Hulu + Live TV bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+ for $76.99 per month with adds and $89.99 per month without ads. That’s live tv plus a lot of good streaming.

Comcast doesn't care. They didn't care when they bumped Root Sports to their top tier package a few weeks before the start of the Blazer season.

They care if thousands of Duck fans wave bye-bye and tell them to go quack themselves.
 
I record all the sports I watch, and begin watching either sometime during the game or after. I know nothing about services other than Comcast. Can I record the games and view them later on these other providers?

According to the Googles you can record on Youtube TV. I'm looking at switching from Xfinity to YTTV.
 
Captain Obvious over here
Before you Comcast guys switch to a new TV provider, I'd suggest you wait to see where the Blazers land so you can make sure your new streaming service has that channel along with the Big 10 Network for your Ducks.
