The SEC is a much more valuable property.
The Big 12 made a play. Folding up Cyclones.TV isn't earth shaking. We've wanted a Big 12 network for years. This is as close as we can get.....and people want to draw the line at $5

Everyone is free not to pay, but I'm free to say you're a huge dork if you're "boycotting" this out of principle.
I understand the hesitation, but we, ISU fans, got three games on ESPN + for the month of January so it’s not a huge deal for $5.
Just cancel if you don’t want it after January.
In January, we got
-KU tonight ( Top 5)
-Baylor next week (Top 5)
- Okla St. in late January
Next ESPN+ game is in March vs KState.
Here’s to a Good 2020!

Buy some Disney and Hearst stock while you are at it. (They own ESPN) And my gear is from the 70s, my Cyclone friend.
I think part of it is getting hit with cyclones.tv, ESPN, and ESPN + combined with the bad results.
It is the principle of the thing! I have my radio tuned to 100.3 to listen to the Cyclones while I watch Alabama play Miss. State on the SEC Network on my Direct TV package. It's not the $5, it's the GD millennials and their streaming that annoys the hell out of me. ISU vs. KU being on a streaming app instead of being shown from coast to coast on ESPN, ESPN 2 or ESPN U is a JOKE and lessens exposure. Let's Go State!
I wish it were like $10 to include access to all ESPN channels (U, news). Paying the monthly fee for Sling just to see those channels is a pain.
The streaming thing is about as traditional 'murican as it gets from what I can tell.
Boomers should love the business competition. Just gotta pull yourself up by the boot straps and earn it.
I’m in the dork category then. This thing is stupid and the only way to send that message to them is to not subscribe.
Gonna guess ESPN's not going to care about this message.
I am always surprised at how many here don’t donate to Cyclone Club, Gridiron Club, buy tickets, CyclonesTV, etc.. Now streaming is here and it is yet another chance to support ISU, but...
We as fans have an opportunity to impact how valuable ISU is in this medium going into the future. Contribute more to our success and @&#$* less.

I am a Cyclone Club Member and a Football and Men's Basketball Season Ticket holder. Screw streaming. It's not about me being able to see the game or not. As a matter of fact, I am enjoying the radio broadcast (I stayed home tonight). It's about not having easy access to see Iowa State on ESPN / ESPN2 / ESPNU from coast to coast if I am visiting my sister in California or my brother in Florida or on a business trip anywhere else. This streaming crap is actually short sighted for a short sighted millennial audience. Ironically, it's a good thing that ISU is not on from coast to coast tonight! At least, the embarrassment will be contained to the ESPN app and between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.

Not a millennial. As far as easy access, I can watch this via smart TV or XBox in my house. I can watch it on my tablet or phone from anywhere. I travel frequently for work and have access via my devices. We will see if it is short sighted and the streaming market in general will have to sort itself out. In the meantime, this is what it is. Looking ahead, good luck to ISU athletics with a small state population and a fan base that won’t pay to watch the Cyclones outside of an overpriced Dish/Cable subscription. I am also also glad this beat down is not on ESPN mothership.
