Yeah I don't think you'll see any supers on ESPN+. I subscribed to ESPN+ on Friday and canceled right after so I have it for a month. It was well worth the 9.99.

Looks like no games on ESPN, ESPN2, or SEC networks! ESPNU covering other regionals. Nice job by ESPN network coverage??

I will say this that is was complete chicken shite by ESPN to put just about all the games on ESPN+ and make everyone pay even more than the frick we already have to pay for cable or streaming services. But then again, that's where this country is!

I have to assume it’s a business decision to force us to buy ESPN+ at this point.

It would make a ton of sense of playing this game on at least ESPNU, but realistically there are very few fan bases that would pay for ESPN+ just to see their team play - and we are one of them.

I would love to know the revenue that ESPN brought in this past weekend! It's just chicken shite!

I would assume that ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, etc. has normal weekday programming, which is why all 4 channels aren't being utilized today like they were over the weekend. As for ESPN+ being used so much over the weekend, what do you expect? There were 32 games each day, and only 4 or 5 available channels. They picked what they thought were the most interesting games. LSU would have been on the deuce all weekend if not for the rain delays. Starting next weekend every postseason college baseball game will be televised on one of their networks. There are plenty of reasons to bitch about ESPN, this ain't one them. And damn all of you for making me defend them.

Hulu-live gives you ESPN + as part of the package. Love it!

Agree, it’s been headed this way for a while. The amount of money ESPN and other broadcasters pay in rights fees is insane. I’m subscribed to all ESPN college sports venues and it ain’t cheap for the few teams i follow. Couldn’t get logged into ESPN+ last night, listening to the game on radio was a refreshing experience. Enjoyed that but of course it’s not the same as live video.

They think everyone wants to see women's softball and reruns of spring football games. Is it any wonder that they are losing their arse?

This sucks. Yes, I can afford ESPN+, but these baseball games should not be on a pay-for-view basis. ESPN is getting big time ad revenue and still hosing the fans.
Then you see Woody in the stands sitting there fat, dumb and happy smiling and the fans are having to shell out more for the privilege…it sucks !
