Obviously we have different preferences with how we watch tv. This sounds like a giant PITA to me.
Streaming or no streaming besides, having basketball games less accessible than they have been the last 5 or so years when all conference games were on an ESPN channel is a bad thing for ISU basketball.
I pay less for YTTV and ESPN+ combined than I used to pay for DirecTV, or would have for traditional cable. I don't consider that less accessible.
