Our hero Kevin M. Cayton of Arlington Heights, Illinois is an Arizona Basketball fan who may have committed a felony to watch his favorite team play.

According to Channel 4’s KVOA reporter Sean Mooney, the unimaginable but completely understandable (alleged) plan of action of an Arizona Basketball fan is a felony. So you are traveling out of town, and your Wildcats are playing a game, and yet, you cannot find a bar in the city that carries the Pac-12 channel. Has this ever happened to you?

It’s happened to me! But I never went to this extreme, I just sulked in my hotel room and tried to listen to the game on the IMG Sports Network because Brian Jeffries is just that good.

Larry Scott has failed Pac-12 fans throughout the country. Unless you subscribe to a service like Cox or Time Warner, Wildcats fans, and Pac-12 fans cannot watch their teams play when the game is exclusively on the Pac-12 channel. On top of the lack of visibility for our athletes to the midwest and east coast due to game times. Access to the Pac-12 channel is also an issue because there are a lot of DIRECTV Subscribers who are also sports fans. The Pac-12 is losing money and having to lay off employees.

Arizona Basketball fan Kevin M. Cayton, 51-year-old from Arlington Heights Illinois, has been charged with two felony counts by the Sauk County prosecutors: Identity theft for financial gain and unauthorized use of an entity’s identifying information.

Cayton called Charter Spectrum and posed as an employee for Buffalo Phil’s asked to add the Pac-12 channel to their TV Service according to Mooney. Apparently, he was successful because the business manager at Buffalo Phil’s noticed his cable bill was higher. What Cayton didn’t realize is that Charter Spectrum records the calls and on one of the 11 calls he made or were recorded, on one of them someone called him by his first name Kevin. That was the clue that led authorities to the culprit.

Cayton has a court hearing on July 31st, lets’ hope he gets off on a technicality, pays back the restaurant and is at home in time to watch his Wildcats play basketball. All hail Kevin Cayton (but don’t do what he is alleged to do. Instead, complain to Larry Scott publically for failing Wildcats and other Pac-12 fans to make the channel available to more fans.
