Still an investment, but roughly $2 per game isn't unreasonable if you get the discount. If you use it for women's basketball or additional content past W&M sports, then even a better deal.(11-15-2019 03:36 PM)mrjoolius Wrote:(11-15-2019 03:14 PM)ScottyB757 Wrote:Did you use this link?(11-14-2019 10:22 AM)wml33t Wrote:(11-14-2019 09:38 AM)mrjoolius Wrote: FYI, that DC United link further up this thread seems to still give the discount. That said, I agree the move to Flosports was not good for the league.

That makes the decision a LOT easier. but if you subscribe for a year starting now, you should get the 2020 football season (well, most of it). End of free viewing? - ColonelEbirt - 11-16-2019 05:43 PM Good Flosports experience. Was traveling last night so needed to watch the basketball game on replay (which is my norm). Easily steamed it on United WiFi on the plane, which very rarely worked in past years on caa tv. Had a great flight back from LA to Chicago watching an awesome W&M basketball game!

Basically, does being on FloSports mean we can't find a bar in Williamsburg to have Tribe basketball viewing events?

I'm not a big fan of the CAA bigwigs decision on this, but it's not hard to watch that way.

Oh goody! Please take any revenue to put games on a channel that no one gets. What a joke.

Honestly probably easier to watch on Flo Sports than CBS sports net.

I'm not complaining about my individual ability to watch a game, I'm complaining about my ability to watch a game with a group of people without convincing the barkeep to let me hook up a Roku to their TV.

Flosports:ESPN+ as GooglePlus:Facebook Who are we kidding? Its essentially the same service, but destined to fail and with fewer perks. These are the conferences who went with ESPN+. Joey D is clearly outsmarting the rest of the college sports world... Football College Football --More than 300 college football games from conferences including: American Athletic Conference Big 12 Big South The Ivy League Metro Atlantic Mid-American (MAC) Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVC) Conference USA Ohio Valley Southern Southland Sun Belt CFL – 200+ games Basketball Hundreds of NCAA Men's & Women's basketball games from conferences including: American Athletic Conference America East Atlantic 10 Atlantic Sun Big 12 Big South Horizon The Ivy League Metro Atlantic Mid-American Missouri Valley Conference USA Ohio Valley Southern Southland Sun Belt WAC FIBA basketball – Hundreds of FIBA games End of free viewing? - mrjoolius - 12-11-2019 04:20 PM I've enjoyed the all around streaming experience with Flosports, but the bone headed pricing is so different from the standard streaming price structure of all other services. It makes it a non starter for most fans. Flo = CAA, obscure sports like wrestling, cheerleading, cycling, and rodeo. Ridiculous pricing that forces you to commit to an entire year ESPN+ = Most major conference football and basketball. Fairly reasonable pricing that is consistent and can be canceled any time. Unless you are the most hardcore of CAA fan or a big follower of fringe sports, who is going to sign up? Short sighted and I question Flo's cost benefit for the league.

So if we are giving up watching the Tribe then there is something wrong with the paradigm.

Saves about $15 - $20 a year, roughly, for not having those months I wouldn't be using Flo anyway. I still agree, it has been tough having a Commissioner who is getting his OJT at our expense.

This is a major and very poorly-timed means/end mismatch. RE: End of free viewing? - tribeinexile - 12-11-2019 04:59 PM My dilemma is that I don’t enjoy listening on the radio. I have nothing against Jay and Charlie but the agony of listening is much worse for me than following on ESPN or Live Stats. I have ESPN+ for December which gives me a decent number of our OOC games. I’ll get Flo for January and February and then cancel. |
