Deal benefits only Comcast

I was wondering, did the Mountain West Conference do any research before they made The mtn. channel deal?

Why would anyone in their right mind make a deal with CSTV/The mtn. (mostly owned by Comcast) and know that probably less than 2 percent of the MWC fan base cannot get, have or afford Comcast? Sure, CSTV/The mtn. (once again owned mostly by Comcast) said they offered DirecTV and Dish Network to carry the channel. Yeah, right! Why would Comcast offer a channel to their competitors? If DirecTV and Dish Network had CSTV/The mtn., then Comcast wouldn't get more subscribers. This deal only benefits Comcast, nobody else.
