I hope I can get an answer since this might be my first year without YouTubeTV. I was looking to get an ESPN+ subscription this year to watch college football this upcoming season and was hoping I could see most games, but I wasn't sure if it works that way. I know there are no DVR capabilities, but I don't care as long as i can see most of the games live. Does anyone here have experience with this?
Plus, with the loss of CBS games, I figure ESPN+ might have those games as well, but I have no clue. Also, I wasn't sure about the SEC network coverage as well.

You can sometimes get Alabama games live on YouTube for free. In the search function, select "Alabama vs Arkansas" (or whoever Bama is playing). You'll find the game shown in a number of options.
The problem is, sometimes the powers that be at You Tube become aware that it's being shown and they'll block it with a message along the lines "This is copyrighted material". Funny thing, is, you'll see there are other iterations where others are showing it, so click on those until you find one that keeps showing the game.
For some weird reason, there is some guy in Vietnam (?!) that shows the games on there and it'll have a running stream of comments from viewers (often NON Bama fans) making absurd comments. And every now and then, the picture will switch to some Asian woman (maybe the wife or girlfriend of the guy streaming this?) making flower displays for maybe 60 seconds. All the time, people are commenting with funny/weird comments like:
"Is Flower Lady available after the game for a date?"
"Would Flower Lady have my baby?"
Then, the game will come back up. So, if you don't mind the commentary on the right hand margin of the screen, you can often find the game for free there on You Tube.

Never mind. Misread your question.

If you go to the FAQ on the ESPN+ site, it says (emphasis added):
quote:
What is ESPN+? How is that different than ESPN?
ESPN+ has thousands of exclusive live events, original studio shows, and acclaimed series that aren’t on the ESPN networks. ESPN+ allows subscribers to purchase UFC PPV events and access an extensive archive of on-demand content (including the entire 30 For 30 library, select ESPN Films, game replays, and more). ESPN+ content is available to stream in HD through the ESPN App on your favorite connected devices (living room devices, phone, tablet, computer, smart TV) and on ESPN.com. ESPN+ also gives you access to exclusive fantasy sports tools and premium articles from some of the most respected voices in sports news and opinion. All of this is available as part of your ESPN+ subscription.
An ESPN+ subscription does not give you access to stream ESPN’s traditional TV networks or the content on them. To stream those networks, you need a television subscription through a cable, satellite or digital provider.
