The Big Ten Network launched another strike at Comcast as the two sides continue their carriage dispute that leaves some Penn State and conference games in jeopardy of not being televised by the cable giant this fall.

Lions head coach James Franklin kicks off a new video put out by the conference on Thursday that reminds fans about the ongoing battle, which first entered the public sphere back in July when Big Ten Network and Fox Sports president Mark Silverman launched into an explainer at the conference's media days event which indicated that, unless an agreement is reached, Comcast will drop BTN on Sept. 1 and also won't carry conference games on Fox Sports One.

As of Thursday Aug. 9, Penn State is set to play at least three games that one of the two stations will televise, starting with the opener against Appalachian State on Sept. 1 that is slated to air on BTN.

"We have offered Comcast proposals with rates that are in-line with what other distributors are paying; however, Comcast has not substantively responded to any of our renewal proposals, yet stopped offering BTN to subscribers outside of the conference's home markets," BTN and FS1 say in a statement.

Back in July, Comcast sent PennLive a prepared statement that read as follows:

"Comcast's agreements with content providers, like the Big Ten Network, expire from time to time. We are communicating with the Big Ten Network about continuing to carry it after August 31 and look forward to productive negotiations."

There appears to be nothing new on the negotiation front, however, and so fans continue to be left waiting for a resolution. The carriage dispute does not impact those with Verizon FIOS, DIRECTV, Dish, or any other cable or satellite provider that carries BTN and FS1.

Comcast has already dropped BTN in out-of-market areas, meaning Penn State fans with Comcast in Florida, for example, will not get the station this fall.
