I am an employee for Comcast, and while researching information for a project I have to do for work, I came across this interesting article in the Chicago Tribune dated last week.

Basically, the article states that the framework of a deal is in place for Comcast to carry the Big Ten Network as early as this fall, I post this because working for Comcast, I do understand that there maybe some people who are upset about Comcast not carrying this network and that this article maybe the light at the end of the tunnel for you.
