according to someone "familiar with the negotiations."

I sure as hell hope so. Switching to U-Verse would require having a South Carolina graduate rooting around in my crawlspace, stringing wires and whatnot.

You should care. With this deal signed every SEC program will make more than any B1G program.

I thought it could take up to 30 days to change media providers. The provider I was switching to said I would be setup in less than a week and one of my employees said that he already switched and it took less than a week to switch to Dish.

So I called TWC yesterday to cancel. I got escalated twice to some Cancellation Supervisor, and I simply explained I was leaving b/c they didn't have a deal with the SEC Network. She assured me that it was in the works and to just be patient. I explained I had a deal worked out with Dish that was time sensitive (that they probably run every month, lol) and I had made my decision.

She then offered me a $100 credit to wait for the announcement, which she was sure would come in the next couple of weeks. Since it only takes a week to switch, I'm now going to wait until Aug 1 to switch if the deal isn't announced.

I wanted to share this so others can try to get a $100 credit from TWC as well.

Thanks for the tip. Maybe my wife will let me invest that $100 in beer.

$100 credit means they take off $10 a month.
