I love espn+. Get to watch almost every Iowa State wrestling dual on there.
The Big 12, MLB, NBA, NHL, etc.
Money talks. The squeeze has been worth the juice so far.
I’d rather our game was on ESPN so we could go out and watch it at a bar, but overall I love ESPN plus. Super cheap and ridiculous amounts of content. Great thing for a college sports fan. Or a degenerate sports gambler.
Maybe a lot of our games were assigned to the + back when we were expected to be the 8th or 9th team in the Big 12. That would make sense. Even we fans did not expect to be 13-2 with wins over UNC, Villanova, Baylor, at Oklahoma, at TCU or by 34 points over TTU.
ESPN + is great for scouting and preparing for my March Madness bracket!
The content is great for me and well worth what I pay for the Disney bundle. I get to watch all the ISU WBB, Volleyball, most wrestling.
They are adding more content on to ESPN+ all the time.

And that content is only going to keep growing. There will be a day you can watch the ESPN linear networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) on ESPN+. It makes too much sense, and it will happen at some point.
It’s a godsend for the degenerate sports gambler
that's good... but i would say that is still a pretty low bar. These three are all owned by disney... you will have games on many streaming partners platforms in the future...
ESPN+
Peacock
Prime (NFL, could have pac?)
YouTube (getting NFL Sunday Ticket)
etc.
It's good that there is an option for TV (hulu) and ESPN+. But I have Youtube TV right now... I could switch, but still won't solve for the others. In the future, more content will move to multiple streaming options. So, I would love to see a smoother interfaced developed.
My Fire TV kinda does this now as it shows what's on various apps, but you are still have to switch to the particular app. But what you want is basically a cable TV channel guide that seamlessly jumps you into the app. I have no doubt someone is trying to do that, but it isn't coming from the individual app makers themselves. It's going to come from the TV makers and streaming device companies like LG or Roku.
Somebody should compile a list of which bars have ESPN+. Sure some do but every bar has ESPN but it's only a growing handful that carry +.
Oh yeah, I caught the end of Seattle vs NMSU last night.It’s a godsend for the degenerate sports gambler
Yeah you are right. Just won’t be on everywhere like a game on the main networks would be.
Yeah, but I want to watch the playoff games on a channel that has dogs barking and running around during big plays. Or a guy calling the game in Portuguese. We need channels like those showing on ESPN 2, U and News. Not ISU at Kansas.
I'm coming from the other side and bemoaning when a game is on ESPN/2, as the base ESPN + doesn't give you access to those channels.
I want ISU games back on Channel 5 (WOI) with Keith Murphy and Gary Thompson calling the game.
Our TIVO (via mediacom) WAS doing that...but then some of the apps stopped playing nicely with it (for example, Hulu said nope, we're not talking to TIVOs any more).
At this point, we have the option to either access it on my laptop and use an HDMI cable to link to our TV, or we use our chromecast. The chromecast accesses all of the apps we have on our phones, but the remote is a PITA to use.
Frustrating when each genre of programming seems to have its own specific streaming service. Trying to figure out where to watch **** makes my head spin.
