I agree that this is a VERY big mistake... and I'm a BU fan.
 
Most of my students can not get ESPN2 (outside of Boston proper) and they
are complaining that Channel 68 does not come in for many of them (seems to
have about a 20 mile range of "good viewing").  This move for $$$ means that
most people outside of Metropolitan Boston will not be able to watch the
Beanpot.  In the long run, this will hurt the Beanpot and the recruiting of
the four schools involved.
 
 
Bad move.
