- [Robert] Welsh claims that in 1998 he presented to a group of Big Ten Conference officials and athletic directors his plan to create a Big Ten network... He claims the Big Ten Conference appeared interested in his proposal so he “distributed his business plan on a confidential basis and made a comprehensive and detailed presentation including a specific delineation of the Big Ten Network plan as a satellite/cable television medium.”
But then the Big Ten Conference decided it “did not wish to cede control over such matters to an independent entity” and instead, the suit said, took Mr. Welsh’s idea as its own.
Welsh was the lion when he went to Penn State. So , I find this amusing. Actually, since I don't get the Big Ten network; and I have comcast, the worst cable company in PA; I just like watching the Big Ten Network suffer
