If I pay for ESPN+ will I still be able to watch any SEC football game I want, without a cable TV plan?

No. ESPN+ doesn’t grant access to the main networks. It’s only for the stream only games that specifically say ESPN+

There are sometimes when an ESPN+ sub will allow you to watch, but not every single game on ESPN networks.

It's mostly for the smaller schools that dont get on tv.

I have ESPN + you still haft to have a provider that offers the channels to get SEC network as well as the ESPN channels themselves. ESPN plus is just all the extra stuff they offer

I have sling and it’s cheap but you get what you pay for.

correct... ESPN+ has a bunch of good content, all the 30for30 shows, documentaries, etc. but it still requires a service/provider for live events.

No but you'll get enticing matchups like Lehigh vs Lafayette

Just get Youtube.tv. It comes with SECN and that covers pretty much everything.

Or Sling orange plus the sports extra. I think I pay $50 a month for that and can watch just about anything. If something is on CBS, NBC, or ABC, I use my antenna.

Literally the only thing my family watches cable TV for is college football. Does sling offer this? And what does it cost?

I’m done chasing sports.
I’ve got cable. If the game is on cable, I’ll watch it IF it’s raining or a night game.
If it’s not, whatever. I’m not going to have 7 subscriptions to be able to watch AU or any other sports.
