All I can find is ESPN+/Watch ESPN. Is that all we get?

Yep. Downside of playing on saturdays for us.

Was going to listen to Robin Hook & John Creek, but the Eastern game ESPN+ too so now thinking of getting it. Ugh. Might as well play on Tuesdays if we're not going to be on TV.

Looks like If you jump for ESPN+ you then should be able to watch Wednesday’s WMU at ND basketball on ACCNX.

So apparently it's now necessary to pay a subscription fee to watch ESPN Plus? That sucks! Guess I'll be listening to Robin Hook on the Bronco Radio Network.

Wish the NCHC would put some games on ESPn+

If ESPN is going to stick us on + and not even try to give us a good broadcast production, I would much rather keep this same average production but stream games on Youtube for $5 a game and play every single game on Saturday. I'm sick and tired of the Barstool junkies poking fun of us every week. We're a national joke

Pretty much the most ghetto thing you'll see on t.v. today is a camera shot of the scoreboard superimposed on the bottom corner of the screen. Embarrassing.

Not embarrassing -- MACtion! :)

Regular scoreboard's back. Maybe WMU will light it up 2nd half due to it.

The MAC-ESPN deal is garbage. Next time they negotiate they need to tell them any game played on a weekday MUST be on ESPN/2 or ABC. No ESPNU/News/+ games on weekdays. Then we should sign a Saturday contract with Fox Sports and NBC Sports networks.

ESPN+ gets us wonderful production with half a game showing the WMU scoreboard in the bottom right lol.

Amazon is also trying to get in on live sports. Eventually they will rule the world, might be a good thing to try to get some MAC football with them too. Need to diversify beyond ESPN.

How about the diagonal first down yellow line? That was a joke!

Well, for MAC refs and their spots sometimes...

No way could we get it on ABC, but NBC Sports Network would be great. Not sure if their contract w/ Notre Dame would interfere? You'd think NBC Sports Network would need as much sports programming as they can get.

I largely don't have a problem w/ the ESPN deal, just think no ESPN+ period, no ESPN 3 on weekdays, & weekday games limited to just 2 or 3 a week.
