DirecTV doesn't carry it, but Comcast does.

So fans with DirecTV miss all those games. There is no way I should switch to Comcast or any other cable provider.

They claim that 4 of the nation's 5 largest carriers provide the network, DirecTv being the lone exception.

The problem is that directv is the major outlet for sports fans.

The deal makes sense for Dish, because then they can peel away a certain number of directv subscribers. But now it doesn't make sense for directv, because they are not likely to gain subscribers by adding the channel.

Makes me glad BYU is not in the PAC.
