I get what you are saying. I pay for ESPN+ at home.
However, a few of us guys usually get together to watch every KU game somewhere. The issue is that very few places have ESPN+ in my small ass town. 2 places to be specific. The only decent sports bar we have in town is Buffalo Wild Wings which doesn't have ESPN+. So we can't just go anywhere to watch it like we could in years past. So this year, we generally watch at home. [Reply]

So that you subscribe to ESPN+. They know KU fans will pay to watch so they’ve put a bunch on there exclusively.
They don’t have ESPN+ in Canada so they’ve basically screwed me entirely (not that there aren’t always other means of watching). [Reply]

I really don't care about 4.99. i care about convenience and exposure. If ESPN+ was on par with Netflix as far as subscribers it would be great. The issue is National exposure to recruits and the casual fan. In the past KU vs WVU or ISU is on at most sports bars around the country. Now its a niche market game only...which hurts our exposure both with recruits and our brand. And yes the KU brand is important [Reply]

Well it's a good thing it's bundled with Disney+, because that IS going to be on par with Netflix subscription. 12.99 a month is Disney (Marvel, Pixar, Nat Geo, Simpsons, Star Wars), Hulu, and ESPN.
If you haven't done this already, my god... get on it. Mandalorian alone was worth it. [Reply]
This is a huge game for the Conference. We either go up a game on everyone who matters...or we’re down a game to Baylor and still have to go there. [Reply]
