ESPN+ ISU BB Game Schedule

[awd4cy]

The PAC 12 network is definitely not easy to access. It was a pain trying to find something to watch the Oregon State game on. It wasn’t even on the regular PAC 12 network, you had to get PAC 12 Oregon or some crap like that. If I wanted to watch a random Wake Forest or Virginia Tech game, I doubt I could.

So on point 1 you do admit this is worse for us? And on point 2 only the die-hards will seek out an additional streaming service and games on that service. We are missing marketing and branding opportunities left and right by not being on tv for the casual fan.

I have said repeatedly the previous media rights deal was better for the conference, and that I wish the streaming service carried tier 3 games only.

I’d say ESPN made the argument only diehards were seeking out ISU-OSU games on ESPNU.

Yeah, I'm really afraid that a Hawkeye douche got together with OU and Texas and signed the death warrant for this conference. How convenient that they were left out of this fing joke.

Argent all like:

And the disdain is not about individual fans not being able to access the game or about the money. It's about taking Iowa State and Big Xii Basketball OFF of NATIONAL TV and localizing it. There were teams playing on ESPN, ESPN 2 and ESPNU that were on in bars and TVS all around the country tonight, but the Iowa State game was not one of them, because nobody puts an ESPN+ App Game on the TV in the Sports Bar or Hotel Bar. That is a shame. Iowa State basketball was marginalized and regionalized tonight. Not sure why people don't get that.

Most of us understand this, we just don’t care.

And college basketball is not college football. Random fans usually do not watch random games outside of their teams. The sport is simply not that popular outside of the NCAA tournament.

"Regionalized Tonight"....Great set of words my friend and absolutely True.....If you are going to run with the big dogs of MBB...since they are on Nationally aka Duke and No Carolina for instance, just to name two of them..You have to also be on Natl TV....

Duke has 8 and UNC has 7 conference games on the incredibly regional ACCNetwork. UNC Clemson was on a RSN, didn’t even make it to ACCN. KU has 10 conference games on ESPN+. It’s happening to everyone.

I'd hate to be a Texas fan. It's much harder to get the Longhorn Network than it is ESPN+. Our game in Austin is going to be just about impossible to see.

If any of you listened to Murph and Andy around 3:10 yesterday you would of heard them go off about espn+ and how stupid it is. As stated before by others the people that are for the + are not seeing things fully or something. It’s NOT a good thing for b12. Mvc or mid majors yes. Big 12 NO

It amazes me how many people won’t even take sports hosts aka people that there job is sports and not believe what they say. Their head is so far up their... that they can’t see the truth. People finding my last post dumb is an example of that

Lol

 

[Bader]

@CyBobby is there something in my last post that is incorrect? The big dogs of CBB are playing more games on “regional networks” than ISU is

 

[IASTATE07]

Lol

That's nothing. Throw a few dumb buttons around and these guys fly off the handle.



24 disagrees lol

Looks like someone’s jimmies are rustled.

Also the same guys that are quick to label others as “snowflakes.” Weird coincidence

Maybe he dislikes not being able to watch as much Duke, UNC and Kansas basketball.

I think it would have been MUCH better for the conference if they had kept Cyclones.TV and then got Netflix or Amazon to bundle a Big XII tier three network. Say anyone who subscribes to Cyclones.TV can keep that and then get access to the other conference tier 3 networks for a smaller fee or a decent amount depending on what the streamer would get. Selling out to ESPN for little or no money... not good.

Anyway, I just canceled ESPN+. Took forever to try and watch the OSU game. Crashed my browser twice and Chrome was using 3 Gb of memory by the end.

Got something to back that up?

You can watch it with Direct TV, if you get the sports pack.

Sounds expensive.

I thought everyone on this site was wealthy, didn't know I was hanging out with Iowa trailer trash.
