Dear Editor: Finally, there is

fans can agree. The Conference's attempt
to strong-arm excessive programming fees
for previously free over-the-air sports
events through its new Big Ten Network
is a flagrant foul.
BTN is attempting to exact fees of more
than $1 per consumer per month from
cable providers to carry the network

providers cave in and agree, those costs
undoubtedly will be passed directly on
to consumers in the form of another
cable rate increase.
