SEC + network

I'm hoping, but doubtful that it will air on Youtube TV. I have ESPN Plus, but their apps are clunky sometimes. Rewinding and fussing about missed calls and opportunities isn't as seamless as it is with Youtube TV lol.
No it definitely will not air on YouTube TV.  As a subscriber to YouTube Tv, they no longer have the rights to ESPN+.  They lost it about 18 months or so ago.  You used to be able to log in with your YouTube Tv login, but no longer -- like all things streaming, I'm sure it was over content costs.

 
Update, updated the espn app on my tablet.  Was able to watch sec+ content so hopefully the game on Saturday.

 
My email to our AD and his minions was why are we treating Beamers's first game as a PPV? Look E$PN+ only has 13.5 million subscribers and according to Forbes that's chump numbers compared to whats our their for them. The magic bullet was to get conferences to put low level games on E$PN+ and share the wealth. Apparently the AD's jumped all over it. So lets play this out to an end game,

Recently they announced a small $1.00 increase to be in place just before the season starts. With out adding another subscriber they added $13,500,000.00 to the revenue stream that totals $107,865,000.00. Just think about all the other conferences that will add subscribers this season. Now, look I am a profit centered guy but  college football has become the new cash cow. If this works and I think it will who feels confident that the price won't go up more, key games could be added and what about bowl games? Di$ney and E$PN are not known for treating our wallets kindly.

$7.99/$8.99 is not bad especially if you treat it one game at a time, but some fans just can't shell it out.

The talking heads on all sports channels, YouTube etc are all talking about how are they going to get all the games on TV once the SEC expands. Well the talk centers around NetFlix, Prime, Peacock and other channels with a +. Yes more money to watch college football unless you are already subscribing.

Di$ney/E$PN figured it out with more fans opting out of tickets and sitting home watching the games (concessions-clean bathroom-age-$) they are playing a got-ya game. The fans that can afford tickets and will go to the game, bless you the team needs your support. GO GAMECOCKS!

Stepping Down from My Soapbox

Opinions expressed here are mine and mine alone, the wife said i should keep them to myself or something like that.

P.S. I already have E$PN+

 
Radio or in person for me.  Tired of getting hammered for more money to watch games.  I realize back in the day we did not have access to the games and this opens up a new avenue, but once I paid for the cable package that provides SEC network, I thought I was done spending the extra $$.  I think if they start making all of the big games PPV type events they will lose viewership and fans.  I know I will go hunting or fishing and say the hell with it.  

 
I am going to sign up for the Disney Bundle. I realized we already pay for Hulu ($6), and Disney+ ($8). So might as well upgrade to the bundle which adds ESPN+ for a total of $14. Same price. 

 
I have DirecTV and saw women's basketball and even some baseball on ESPN app. Last night I could never get it. Listened on the radio.  Good win! Hoping there will be a replay somewhere. 

 
I got it through logging into my app via my Xfinity account, and since I already get the SECN I was golden.

 
I got in, I have ATT stream TV which now is Direct Stream. Hell of a lot better then Spectrum hands down and cheaper.  I have what is required in my neighborhood. Just piggy back  on TV stream and got a code on my TV app and went to Desktop  login in and presto I was able to watch any game I want  on my TV since I have ESPN and SEC etc. No Disney package required.
