I am getting Dish Network installed today, with a two-year agreement. This nearly guarantees that BYU will join the Big12, that the Big12 will launch a conference network, and that Dish Network will not carry the "B12N" for several years. I will probably have to keep calling Dish Network at the behest of the Big12 managers.
In other news, reports are that DirectTV will start carrying P12Network very soon.
