If you have the ESPN + app, you can see any game for like $10 a month.


Again, trying to grow the game. Non-traditional fans. Not ones who seek it out by logging on and finding the game online.

At home. At work. At the airport. On the shitter. Any game on any ESPN SECN. ESPN+ or SECN+.

I tell my television to put on whatever game. There is no "logging on."

On my phone, I open the ESPN app and press "watch."

Skip McDonald's once a month, spend that on ESPN, and you'll be happier. Or, like I do, have xfinity and have it included.

You are searching for it. To grow the game, you need people who are not searching for it. You need people who stumble upon it. See how college softball has grown.

To make your argument make sense, every game should be on an over the air broadcast like ABC, CBS or NBC.

ESPN has 1 ESPN channel, 1 ESPN2 channel, 1 ESPN U channel, 1 SECN channel and ESPN+. All but ESPN had college baseball on.

This is a you problem.

These are not channels on cable? People don't channel surf on cable? I don't understand why you are adverse to trying to grow the game. Defend ESPN on making stupid choices on programming.

likely has something to do with the metro area of the colleges (potential viewers)?
