And pay $140 a month for everything. Talk about getting bent over.
ESPN+ ISU BB Game Schedule
- Thread starter UNI1ISU2
- Start date
The ACCN is NOT the same as the ESPN + App. ACCN is a Television Station available on cable packages, and any sports bar in the country will probably have it. Hell, I have it on my Direct TV in Des Moines. However, go ahead and try to request an ESPN + App Game in a bar. lol. Good luck with that.
Ironically, I have the Longhorn Network as part of my sports package on Direct TV.
There is a reason many of us are wealthy. We are smart with our money and don’t waste it on money grabs.
I don't think anyone would argue Netflix isn't available to the vast majority of our fanbase.
I'd rather have games available on both TV and streaming, and yes, we would all like more games televised, but there are definitely people on here that are simply being obtuse.

We paid cash for our cars and houses. Ain't nothing left over fer sports.
It’s available as an additional package on both major satellite providers and cable in some ACC states.
There is no question broadcasts on ESPN/ESPN2/U/News are better exposure. It’s apparent ESPN wasn’t willing to fork over another $4 mil a school without getting some help with their streaming service. The Big 12 is on the bleeding edge here, but in 5 years plenty more will be in the same position.
I guarantee you bars all over the country had the McGregor/Cowboy fight on Saturday night that was only on ESPN+.
Lmao. Says the guy probably paying Dish network close to $150 a month.
Who the **** are these mysterious people going to bars on Tuesday nights to watch 8-9 ISU vs 8-9 OSU?
We picked up a ton of casual fans under Fred when we were playing an entertaining style of ball and were on ESPN twice a week.
That 15 bucks for ESPN+ is gonna really ding the ol’ net worth
The same trailer trash that can afford a $5 pack of cigarettes a day, yet some around here ***** about having to pay $5 a month for ESPN +
The majority of people complaining are the people that are overpaying for satellite and cable.
I don’t think it’s the money, it’s more the concept and principal of it for those of us that don’t like it.
With linear channels there are a limited number of time slots available. What that means is games get moved so the network can fill it's schedule with good games. With streaming services their is no limit to the number of games that can be aired at a given time. What that might mean is that your games may start at more traditional times. There is less need to "slot" them into a particular time slot.
It also means that you often miss the start of your game when an earlier game runs long, or if some major breaking news happens. I remember a time some Mike Tyson news preempted a Cyclone basketball game. That should never happen with a game planned to air on a streaming service.
This chapter of streaming has yet to be written, but I would love it if the host school was in control of kickoff times rather than a television network.

Completely agree. This is the new normal.
I'd also like to add, it's only a matter of time until ESPN+ content is integrated with regular streaming apps so you don't have to go between apps. Hulu is already experimenting with this since they have the same parent company.
