Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 3765753, member: 10709"] I agree with you regarding the cost for cable. It's the same here. However, when I've done the math (including Cdn conversion ;)), I could get more than what I'm getting here for a better price annually. We don't have the option for Sling or YouTube TV. Maybe because I watch more sports than TV shows, if I had one of those services along with ESPN+, I'd be a very happy person. TSN's NCAA coverage is consistent , however their focus has been more for the men's side. With players like Wiggins, Barret Jr, Murray, etc., TSN took advantage of their partnership with ESPN and broadcast a lot of their games when they played for their respective teams. Now the weekly ESPN NCAA games as part of their schedule. March Madness gets the same level of exposure on their 5 channels as they have agreements in place for them. Even in a country known for hockey, March Madness is a huge thing. The coverage for the women's game is haphazard at best. You'd be lucky to catch one of the Sunday ESPN games during the season. When Kia Nurse was at UConn, TSN broadcast a lot of her games. I thought we would start to see more, but it wasn't the case. For example, the 2019 March Madness for women was streamed on TSN's version of ESPN+ primarily. The men's tourney was on most of TSN's channels even with several showing the same game live. As you noted, I hope it's a trend that continues. Especially now with the number of Canadians playing for top programs in the NCAA. The Canadian Senior Women's National team is ranked 4th per FIBA and the next generation following them is looking awesome. It just would be nice to see these ladies get the recognition they deserve because they've worked hard to get where they are. [/QUOTE]
