Cable, Big Ten, UW fans losers

Itâ??s third down and inches. Time to get in the trenches and grind it out.

Weâ??re referring to the clash between the Big Ten Network and several cable TV companies, which will prevent many Badger fans from seeing Saturdayâ??s critical showdown against top-ranked Ohio State. Without an agreement, cable companies â?? including local carrier Time Warner â?? cannot show BTN games.

This is sure to come up at least once more this season. University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez expects the teamâ??s Nov. 17 game against Minnesota to be shown on BTN, which gets the second or third pick among each weekâ??s games.
