MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Both sides of the ongoing conflict between cable providers and the NFL and Big Ten networks will line up Thursday at a public hearing on a proposal designed to resolve the dispute. But similar proposed resolutions in other states haven’t gotten past the line of scrimmage.
Wisconsin and a handful of other states think that leading both sides to arbitration is the way to solve a dispute that has left fans across the country angry and confused when key games on the networks are not carried by major cable companies.
