The thing is, I USED to have a site I could stream all games for free from, that was HD even, but I’ve gotten a new laptop since then so I’ve lost that site address now.

If you live near a casino sports book, ,that can be a fun place to watch a game. I go to Diamond Jo's near the MN border to watch games sometimes.

Lol, it's like $8.99 a month and all you need is an internet connection. It amazes me people are still trying to figure out ESPN+, has to be 50% of our basketball games on there the last few years.

It’s a pain to manage another app/subscription and it deters average fans or neutral viewers from watching Iowa State. Streaming sucks and you want to be on OTA channel or network cable!

So you'd rather not watch ISU football versus spending $10?? Not me.

I've already had a $6 triple shot latte and most of a $8 six pack today and it's not even noon. Got tennis on the + and crushing yard work until the game.

$10 to watch a football game? That's one round at the bar these days.

Once the game starts, someone will find a decent stream

Honestly that's debatable. I have the app because I also want to watch soccer and other sports that are only on ESPN+, but the quality is absolutely terrible. If you like listening to John and Eric and would only get it for the Iowa State football games, I don't think it's worth it
I would spend an unfathomable amount of money to be able to watch ISU games.

The quality is not great though, so that’s not really up for debate and for the price hike they did the quality has been arguably worse.

Not an immediate game-day solution ... but, when we cut the cord a couple of years ago, we did the Disney bundle ... Gets Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+. Sucks you can't get E-plus as a designated choice on Hulu (at least we couldn't at the time), but did what was necessary.

If you have no use for Disney, I can see that being not worth it. I watch Nat-Geo on it, so it has a little value in itself.

I think y’all are overestimating the cost aspect and underestimating the laziness aspect. It YouTubeTV let me “upgrade” to add espn+ for $15, I’d rather do that than pay $10 for espn+ on its own plus youtubeTV.
I get where you're coming from, but this is sort of like asking why Ford won't sell you a Camaro. Disney offers the bundle you're looking for, with Hulu, Disney plus, and ESPN plus. I'm sure YouTube would love to offer the package you're looking for, but Disney isn't going to let that happen.

That’s ********. The world needs to work EXACTLY the way I want it to work.
