A10 on ESPN+
Get out your wallets folks. The A10 is going to be on ESPN+ which means you have to pay to watch. No more freebies but hopefully the production and streaming quality will improve.
http://www.atlantic10.com/ViewArticl...CLID=211717410
Fans can subscribe to ESPN+ for just $4.99 a month or $49.99 per year.

Probably not a lot of MMA fans on here, but they just got the UFC rights and a lot will be on ESPN+. For $5 it seems like they are trying to load up on content.

So now we will have to pay for a streaming provider, ESPN+, and the A10 or U fees.
I would have to pay 50 a month for my Internet provider, 40 a month for Hulu, 50 a year for Espn+, that's 95 a month then whatever the A10 or U charges.
Not going to be cheap. Pay 145 month now for cable. Including internet.

No way I'm giving ESPN a dime of my money. I guess I'll be listening to Larry and Bucky a lot more.......which isn't such a bad thing.

Get off my lawn!!!
C'mon people. Not all UD games will be on ESPN+. Many will be carried by other networks including other ESPN channels but for say $25 (November, December, January, February) I can watch all the games not on another network - I am in. Can watch other A10 games of interest too.

I try and watch Sportscenter in the morning for baseball highlights but today may have been my last day even trying. They started off with Yankees/Astros highlights (more hype than highlights) and then jumped to 15 minutes of Cavs/GS interviews and analysis followed by Tiger Woods hype at the Memorial.
At 6:18 I turned it off. I don't care about what might happen (NBA, Memorial) unless nothing else happened the night before. Maybe that's just me but I'd like to think that there are mortals out there who want to see 5-6 baseball game highlights before they break away to talk about LeBron and Tiger...especially when it's fairly obvious that GS will win in 5 and Tiger will be lucky to make the cut.
ESPN is all about HYPE. And with Keith Olberman now walking their hallways, free to interject as he sees necessary, I really am sick of them.

JimBo and I will be over 30 min before tipoff! BTW, I like Bud Light and BW3 Hot, boneless wings. And double-ply...

If you're going hot, you may want to think about triple-ply and/or a bidet.

BDubs hot isn't that hot. It's lower than their habanero or blazin. But they are pretty tasty.

Does anyone know if this is third tier rights contract, less valuable content, for the A-10? Also, does this contract negate all contracts schools have individually with a local provider or channel? In our case, would we have no more games on Spectrum Sports Channel as a result of this deal?

the nice thing with these streaming services is that they're pretty easy to cancel and resubscribe too
If I don't have to watch a game with no sound like Ball State, on Facebook or with constant buffering I'll gladly fork over 25 bucks for basketball season

A subscription to ESPN+ is all you will need to pay. There is no separate A10/U fee.

What's your point?
I read the DDN online each morning so I can get baseball results from 3 nights ago!

I don't know about Jimbo but I never figured you to be the kind of guy that would spend $40 on gas to save $5 on a tv subscription but come on over.

I assume CE80 has MLB TV, too...now I just need to know if he has Cheerios and/or Frosted Flakes! Also, where's the spare key so I can let myself in...I get up early and don't want to disturb anyone.

Actually - no MLB (or NBA). When I switched from Spectrum to Uverse, those 2 were not part of the standard sports pack. I would watch them occasionally but really don't miss them.
Yes to Cheerios (my wife eats them as a snack - must be a chick thing).
No to Frosted Flakes.
No need for a key - the door is always open. We live in a very friendly neighborhood if you know what I mean

I agree paying $25 for five months is worth it to: get a better picture and sound, get the games some schools now charge us for and more women's games.

Haven't paid for streaming sports in years...don't plan on starting...the games will be on ESPN+ and will be easy enough to find on streaming software such as kodi.

Easiest is to get an android player of some sort and stream...
Or get it on your laptop and HDMI it or stream to TV from computer.
