A few years ago playing these FCS teams was all PPV or radio. And the B1G doesn't have a platform for these directional schools.

This is not an ESPN problem. It's a head coach and AD problem.

It is a depth and playing in the SEC problem. Not all rosters are 85 quality players deep. Rules allow you basically a scrimmage game. Why not take it? SEC will beat you down through 8 conference games.

Perhaps this is more an Ole Miss issue. You had your cripple children's institute on your schedule last season and your team still lost the last 4 games in a row. And you lost 5 of your last 6.

That's a problem.

This seems to be the signal they're sending, for sure.

It is shittier....by design.

ESPN isn't going to spend the ungodly amount of money on an SEC+ game as they would an ABC Primetime one. Some games, they'll have the in-house video board crew broadcast the game.

I do. You're just being an idiot about it and it was worth calling you out.

It's "Eternal TV."

I've been using them for the last 5 years no problem. I missed a payment one time and my sub was canceled. I had to go to the back of the line before I could renew. That line was 2 months long. Like I said though, there are tons of options to choose from if that site looks too untrustworthy to you.

IPTV exists in a legal gray area in the United States. The technology itself is legal, as it's a method of delivering video content over the internet. However, the legality of the content streamed through IPTV services varies. Some IPTV providers offer copyrighted content without proper licenses, making it illegal to access or distribute such content. This can lead to copyright infringement issues.

On the other hand, there are legitimate IPTV services that offer licensed content, similar to traditional cable or satellite TV providers. To ensure legality, users should opt for reputable IPTV services that have proper licensing agreements in place. In essence, while IPTV technology is legal, the legality of the content you access depends on the source and licensing agreements associated with it.

Scheduling like this is why TV execs are blowing up college football. This is fricking shameful.

IIRC, South Carolina state law requires South Carolina and Clemson to schedule one of the smaller programs in the state every year.

Did ESPN personnel schedule any of those games for the respective SEC programs? Did anyone from ESPN schedule UT-Martin for Georgia?

I hate ESPN as much as the next person for their liberal bias and woke policies, but the ADs of each university scheduled those powderpuff games. ESPN shows what's available.

If you have a smart TV then it will be on TV or a streaming device (IE Roku Apple TV, Fire Stick)

You can stream to a TV.

Sankey should be run out of town for this garbage, it’s going to kill viewership

Streaming is the future. Cable and satellite are dying.

quote:

How does the premier college football conference end up with this garbage?

Streaming actually reaches a greater audience than a regional cable service

quote:

What a drop of the ball by Sankey

I’m sorry technology has passed you by

quote:

Love or hate Slive, the guy put the SEC on top and Sankey is destroying what he built

That’s a flawed opinion. Streaming is the next evolution of entertainment delivery services. I just wish the service was utilized greater for lesser sports and a library of games was readily available and organized.

I’ve actually streamed a game overseas using a micro projector onto a tent wall before. It brought a piece of home to a place that would never be home.

For once I agree with Smokey. How, OP, do you not have a streaming device on your TV in this day and age.

Back in the day we had to wait until the 11pm mews was over on WKYT to see UK football in replay to even watch the Cats at all. And you want to complain that you've got to use a Roku to see Miss State play Poop State live these days?

IMO it's pretty sweet.

Which one is the real site link? Because there's a ton of fake sites and scams. I used to be on smoothstreams and the playas club (i think that was it's dumbass name). I wouldn't mind signing up to an iptv again, just so can watch games on the Alaska broadcasts.
