Maybe, but I cannot get CBSSN without a subscription to an overpriced live TV service. I would love it if they were on Prime.In the near term it's better for us to be on a traditional sports network even if it is CBS SN

Netflix/Prime Video/Disney+ have more subs than the US cable TV market.
ESPN has about 75 million subscribers and is shrinking. Netflix and Prime Video have many more subscribers and they are growing. UConn football should take the risk on a streaming deal. Could UConn football become a cult football team for young people who don't have linear TV?Lol.
How many of the subscribers to top 3 ALSO have cable?
UConn doesn't get $1,000,000 a year from CBS Sports. It's a little over $1,000,000 over four years. So probably around $300,000 a year.It's been discussed here but I can't find it. With our CBSSPORTS contract up and us getting a full 1 million a year for them to show football any chance they drop us?
They want 350.00 for Sunday Ticket. I always got it for free with Direct TV. Not willing to spend that kind of money for football.Youtube TV now has Sunday ticket btw... its no slouch and it follows the linear model while pushing chord cutting.
From my perspective - most young people use streaming to build their NFL fantasy football teams- I often have a house full of 18-21 year old kids and they flip from game to game to watch player stats- I don't get it.ESPN has about 75 million subscribers and is shrinking.

Maybe the 10+ million viewers who watched NFL Thursday night football on Prime Video last season? Although viewership was down on PV from the season before Thursday Night Football, they had the youngest average viewer age in 10 years.How does Prime give us more reach? What casual fan is booting up the Prime video app to watch UConn football? At least being on CBS Sports makes us easily available to the person flipping channels on Saturdays.

Who hasn't met someone that didn't know they had prime video as part of their two day shipping package?I think those numbers from Prime are way inflated by just overall Prime subscriptions. I suspect quite a few of those 205 million people are mostly in it for two-day free shipping on anything. I am sure a lot of them also use Prime Video, but 205 million? I doubt it.
UConn fans will tune in as well as fans of the teams we will be playing.How does Prime give us more reach? What casual fan is booting up the Prime video app to watch UConn football? At least being on CBS Sports makes us easily available to the person flipping channels on Saturdays.
You’re all missing the point. Sports bars don’t have it. People don‘t yet think to go there. So when scanning channels for CFB on Saturday, Prime isn’t showing up. It’s fine for the fan, but it gets no foot traffic. You want to show up when people scroll through channels.Who hasn't met someone that didn't know they had prime video as part of their two day shipping package?

I'm one of them. Look at how expensive Prime has gotten. I have no interest in subsidizing original content or the media platform. I just want my stuff to come in 1-2 days and not pay ridiculous shipping fees - that's all I want Prime to do.And don’t even have the app downloaded.
Another way to look at it, is at least 30 million people who pay for the service have no interest in Prime Video content. That's not a ringing endorsement. Most people, self included, use Prime primarily for shipping. Jack Ryan is a bonus.This is a tough crowd. Over 175 million Prime customers have used Prime Video. Folks, streaming is here and growing. The SEC’s new media deal includes 14 non-conference football games and 20 non-conference basketball games on ESPN+. The Big 10 media contract includes games streamed on Peacock.
It is just a matter of time before Amazon put better video content on Prime so people can watch more.Another way to look at it, is at least 30 million people who pay for the service have no interest in Prime Video content.

NFL Thursday Night Football on Prime Video was available in >300k sports bars, restaurants, casinos, etc. last year through DirectTV for Business. I watched a couple TNF games in a sports bar last year.You’re all missing the point. Sports bars don’t have it. People don‘t yet think to go there.
