Texas and Oklahoma won’t be on ESPN+ other than as road teams due to existing media deals. Roughly half of the conference also won’t produce content for ESPN+ until the 2020 season.

This seems to be pissing most Big 12 fans off. Not surprisingly when they’re asked to pay more for their content. This is most surprising because this may be the first instance of a P5 conference having its more prominent sports being put behind a streaming subscription service.

as long as ESPN+ remains at 4.99 a month, it might be the biggest deal for sports fans in television history.

i can watch ALL the ESPN network games, plus basically every other game ESPN has a deal with, which is quite a lot of inventory. The content that is accessible is enormous....especially for 4.99/month.

i hope they continue to get subscribers and keep the cost low, because i find it well worth the price.

just my opinion.
