Help me vet this

Not virtue signaling but I don’t use any pay streaming services or have deeprig-era Comcast ground cables.

As a life long college football fan, that only needs this garbage to watch these particular events, my plan last year was just get a deal on youtubetv in late August and then cancel in January to be allowed to watch the show. Works great

But Read recently there’s a new game in town with espn and Fox bundling

Long story short: I’m pretty sure if I get this bundle and add paramount+ I’ll be able to watch every college football game out ther. At basically $57 a month. And then cancel in January

I'm 100% ATT fiber and YouTube TV now. I also pay for YouTube premium.

My wife pays for and manages whatever other bullshite streaming services she wants to watch. It all comes out of her end.

There is no Comcast involved anymore.

I know at some point I'll have to PPV on ESPN+ one of our cupcakes this season, but I'm prepared for that.

If the SEC Network is included in your package you also get games on ESPN+ because they are also on SEC+. You don't get ESPN+ games that aren't on SEC+ but all those are other conference games.

I've vetted your plan..... and I scoured the internet because at one point my internet + TV with ATT was $200 a month. See previous post. First buy a firestick, YouTube how to break it so you can upload side apps.

I dispute your statement. I have used YTTV off and on for a few years now, and it always has SECN, and ESPN, but any + games require a subscription to ESPN+.

Not ready to go outlaw yet. Just want to pay the least amount possible for the shell of what remains of college football

-if I come around in a few years , I will credit you as a pioneer. Respect

I can say from personal experience the ESPN streaming app does not provide you with what is playing on regular ESPN1, 2, or 3, unless something recently changed. It is only for the "extra" stuff that isn't broadcast on the regular ESPN channels. It's a deal they have with the service providers.

This is correct. I had it for the first time last year, so I could watch my nephews college lacrosse games. It won't show what's on cable packages.

Grok it, dude.

Espn and fox are bundling up to capture college football fans . The only hole in their plan (besides lack of nbc notre dame games, boo hoo whatever) is lack of cbs games. A flaw which is easily solved by a $5 paramount plus app add on.

So why are you asking us, if you already have it figured out?

This is the way. I also pay an annual subscription to ESPN so I can access all their extra, not on TV, bs.

I'm pretty sure Paramount is more than $5.

I don't talk to AI deliberately.

Their customer service chatbots have impressed me lately, I will say that.
