Unhappy with CSTV deal? Don't blame Thompson

I can't promise everybody is going to be happy anytime soon. Or ever. (Although there are rumblings that deals to place The mtn. on more cable and satellite systems might come before BYU and Utah have games on the channel on Sept. 9.) I know that it's going to cost a lot of you a lot more money to see games you either didn't have to pay for (on Channels 4, 5 or 14) or didn't stop to think that you were paying for (on ESPN or ESPN2).
But, eventually, we'll have the chance to see every Mountain West football and basketball game on TV, if we want to pay for it. And that would not have been the case had the conference stuck with its old, broken-down deal.
