You are putting your head in the sand if you don't recognize that getting to where every football game is on TV was part of a process and that had a cost. It continues to have a cost and next year we will be paying it. I would be very comfortable only having to continue to pay for ESPN channels and Fox sports channels to see every game, but that isn't the direction college sports are going. ISU fans who were around in the 80s and 90s should have learned the lesson that those who don't invest in their teams risk losing them. Do you not remember our administration who thought sports were a bother? If we take the cheap way out, we won't have a team to worry about.The good old days had every single basketball game on ABC. Also the other good old days (last year) had everything on free channels. If you are satisfied with KU vs Iowa State on streaming where nobody will watch and you have to pay. That’s fine
And as far as every ISU BB game being on ABC - not every Cyclone fan lived in central Iowa.
