Kansas home game during winter break and its on ESPN+?! What the crap....
Seems like we always play KU at home in early January. Are the students even back in school yet on Jan. 8?
Nope
I'm beginning to think it's a conspiracy that Kansas always plays us at home early and without the students. When is the last time we hosted them during the back half of conference play?

Last year was the first time that had happened and no, students won't be back yet.
I thought I actually understood this mess. How is this game on ESPN+? I thought it had to be on on one of the other regular non-online-only ESPN channels.
Several Games on ESPN+. ESPN is really trying to push the subscribtion channels. Kansas at ISU should be on ESPN, not ESPN+.
Yeah, I'm confused now too. I was under the impression that schools were relegating their third tier rights to ESPN+/Big 12 Now but it appears that doesn't appear to be the case. It almost seems like we just went backwards and opened up more time slots for the ACC and B1G.
4 ESPN+ games & 1 on Longhorn Network.....Woof
Second year in a row. We always give Kansas the toughest time out of the whole conference when they’re in our house. Seems really biased.Seems like we always play KU at home in early January. Are the students even back in school yet on Jan. 8?
ESPN + for the biggest game of the year? What a load of *****.
I defended it last year and basically said "welp, it's our turn" but two years in a row is BS!
Guess the TV decision makers aren't expecting much from the Clones this year. I know Chris Williams said he got a pre-season magazine and it had ISU predicted 9th in the League.
Will just have to prove them wrong hopefully.
They are doing this with some big football games this fall also.
Its nothing but a corporate money grab. They know hundreds of thousands of fans will pay $5 to see an important game. Price is low enough people wont think twice about paying to see the Kansas game, but enough where they are profiting nicely from it.
That's not the point though. Up until this ESPN + deal was signed these games would have all aired on the ESPN cable platform...
