Again the complaints about ESPN+ are not about the money. The complaints are about ease of access. ESPN took games that people were able to get on tv and moved them to streaming that people had to pay more for. Also as much as people don’t seem to want to admit it there are still a lot of people who don’t understand how to stream and even more who don’t have access to quality internet yet.
We will have more support than most schools. They all are going to have those complaints. If I can pay $20 for the ESPN channels that’s better than $100-$150 plus $5 for all of the channels. It’s the nickel and diming that people vent about.
Yes thank you, I was about to type the same thing but you said it.
For reference, I did used to pay for Cyclones.TV, but I don't pay for ESPN+.
I'm not saying your wrong but the only evidence I've seen of this is CF members complaining. Is there any data to actually support this? Not that we won't bring money but that from a subscriptions standpoint that we were a lesser factor than other teams in our league?
Are we though? Historically we aren’t a huge university/alumni base like some schools, but we are getting better.
I was pleasantly surprised when I was living on the East Coast for the last 5 years at how many Iowa State people I happened upon.
Small side note. I was at a Publix in Fort Lauderdale maybe 2 years ago. Walking to my car I'm wearing an Iowa State hat and the guy says 'Hey go Hawkeyes'. I gave him the 'I will eat your face in public' look and he immediately apologized and said he actually likes Iowa State better he was just messing with me.
Jesus, chill out. It was a tongue in cheek statement. Do we really have to jimlad everything...
But people are gonna pay $20 for ESPN and $5 for ESPN+ and another $15 for B1G network?
I have my doubts. But I'm probably in the depression stage of grief about this at the moment
I'm not sure the numbers bear that out for a school started in 1864, has enrollment on par with most of the B1G schools, a graduate program with equitable numbers and a very upward trending athletics program.
I will, however, agree that due to our low profile (due to poor athletics over the years) our donors are suppressed. But, IMO they will emerge as the prestige grows.
No idea, like I said, i don't doubt we're on the lower end of this ,I've just never seen actual data. I've seen several times people referencing CF users complaining though every time it's brought up, we shouldn't be using CF for any of this. Besides, if you did, you'd find that the majority of us signed up for whatever streaming service we could to watch ISU.
No idea but it never had really quality content. It had one home football game and non conference basketball. I don’t have ESPN+ now but I would probably just do it year round if they had all the games through it.
As it is I still have it for 5 months.
I signed up for fubo during football and some of basketball season.
I will, except for the ESPN+. I refused to pay for ESPN+ because it was a crap service.
Suppressed by who? Are there closet business owners in the Twin Cities that are going to donate to ISU athletics if they are all of a sudden in the Big 10? The big business base in the state(Des Moines and companies like Pioneer) already donate to ISU.
I’d love to be wrong but I don’t think Jamie is out there playing 4D chess. Literally everyone was caught off guard by this.
If there were ever a week to not crap talk iowa this would be it. We could potentially still have them on board despite what some people say.
