Got a feeling West Virginia game will be ESPN+

Yep, great deal. For just $5 a month I can get the same Big 12 games that have already been included in my cable package for years! Oh wait...
Maybe for you. ESPN+ is part of my cable package. Even easier access to Cyclones games for me.
Its a first step. Pretty soon you will be able to buy all the ESPN channels ala carte without paying for 175 channels you don't want from cable,satellite,or even streaming TV packages.
Because most Iowa State (and other colleges) games used to be included in the existing cable and satellite packages. This is another, and more restrictive, way to charge people to watch their favorite team.
No, it's just another step into overly monetizing each small bit of programming available. The ESPN+ step is even more fun than most because not only does it cost the consumer more, it's also less convenient.
That's surprising. What cable company? Are you mixing up ESPN+ and WatchESPN?
How is it less covenient? You just load the app and click on the game\show you want to watch.
Rifle through my desk to find the ESPN+ password, dig through the closet for an HDMI cable, load app, pray connection is working at full speed, scroll through piles of D3 garbage, find game, click my way through input connections until I figure out which one I plugged the HDMI into, hopefully finally watch game.
OR
Channel up/down
I'm going with the latter.
My cable plan apparently doesn't have Plus available, although I haven't done research to see if it's available w/ some kind of package upgrade, which I'd only do if they gave me a good rate deal.
I think someone asked about this earlier ... My plan does include WatchESPN streaming, is E-Plus an option with that?

Your really showing your age. Streaming through a streaming device is as easy as channel up/down. You also don’t have to login every time either.
I'd be all for getting all the ESPN channels for $5, all the Fox Sports channels for $5, and then a really good antenna for all the local stations.... and I'd be set for only #10 per month.
All I keep cable for is watching sports.... don't care about anything else at all.
