Anyone want to tell me why the Kansas game and Texas game and multiple others are on ESPN+?!?!? Like what in the **** is that?
Big time basketball games not televised.
- Thread starter ClonesTwenty1
- Start date
Seems like a strategy to get people to subscribe to ESPN+. They do it on too many big games and the value of ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPNNews declines.
These decisions were made when everyone thought this was going to be a rough season.
Starting last month, ESPN+ is included with Hulu Live which is nice to not have to handle two separate subscriptions.
One of the reasons is because no one expected us to be good this year and well can you really blame them after last year? Second, these are pre-determined FAR in advance to the season starting...I'm not sure if or how they can adjust tv timeslots but yeah looking at it now it does seem odd that a potential T25 matchup in Lawrence would be on ESPN+. I also think this is our new reality with streaming being the norm these days
Just break down and get ESPN+. It's the best bang for the buck if you are at all a sports fan. It's cheaper for a year than going to a bar to watch a game for most people.
As much as I hate ESPN, ESPN+ is one of the best things to come to college sports.

Big 12 Network on ESPN+. It’s a trial run for a future dedicated network. Subscribe so it becomes a reality.

I can give you 22 reasons why.
I have a Roku on every TV. It is very easy to stream things once you are setup. ESPN likely sees the writing on the wall and realizes that attaching themselves solely to cable and satellite companies is becoming a losing strategy.
From March 2021:
"The share of Americans who say they watch television via cable or satellite has plunged from 76% in 2015 to 56% this year, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of U.S. adults. Some 71% of those who do not use cable or satellite services say it’s because they can access the content they want online, while 69% say the cost of cable and satellite services is too high and 45% say they do not often watch TV." ...
..."When applying these findings to the population as a whole, this means 27% of U.S. adults are “cord cutters”

Is it even $10/month? How cheap are we that we won't even pay that?
I'd rather be on ESPN or ESPN2 for exposure, but a dedicated steaming channel is the future, and best ISU crush it in this trial
It happens when we’re unanimously picked to finish last in the Big 12. Not hard to figure out.
