Again, ask your university/providers. I'm not even sure how you can say that you have 4 providers available at your university if your university only allows one. How would you even know if the other providers were available? If the school has a contract with cox why would the other providers even have the needed infrastructure in that area? How do you know that the other providers will let you do this assuming that it even works?
I don't think you'll be able to do this but you need to get on the phone and ask. Stop asking me these types of questions, I have no way of knowing that because I don't live there. I can only tell you what is/isn't possible on the technical side. I don't know who's allowed to do what in your area.

They won't be fiddling with the cable box though. They'll be fiddling with the cable card.

What is that supposed to mean?

And what is this supposed to mean? That's what you normally do with any cable connection.
