I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I like the idea of "a la carte" cable and satellite TV, but having the government stick their noses into things like this never seems to turn out well.

Ending blackouts is a great idea, and this would probably help level the playing field in college sports, from a money standpoint. It would not make us even with the big boys, but it would keep them from pulling away further with thier networks. But, if networks like ESPN lost money, then all conferences could be hurt by lower contracts.

Having said all of that, I agree with this writer, that the bill probably won't pass.
