How can I watch an ESPN3 event?

Is there any reason to be optimistic that the broadcast will be improved for the next game? I'm dreading the same garbage again.

I found it better to turn down the sound on the TV and listen to the radio. The radio was a little ahead of the TV, though, so you knew what plays were coming.

I have watched plenty of well done broadcasts on ESPN3. It seems to be hit or miss.

Someone in an earlier comment stated that the home team is responsible for the broadcast. The game was under the lights which were not the best for TV broadcasting, so let's hope that Ball State has a better setup then FIU had.

Here’s a reason for some guarded optimism:

-> As a part of Information Technology, University Media Services (UMS) provides professional video production and broadcasting services to the University and its departments, including media support for distance education, Ball State sports broadcasting with ESPN3, and classroom media delivery.

Information Technology also manages and operates the university public radio and television broadcasting facilities Ball State PBS and Indiana Public Radio/WBST-FM.

Video Production Services​

Our award-winning video production teams can provide video production and post-production services to academic and administrative departments, as well as classroom video production support for faculty. Our services range from single/multiple camera documentation of events to full-fledged studio production to remote production and broadcasting via our 40-foot remote production truck. <-

Speaking of which, which radio station has the best game coverage?

I listened to ESPN 97.9 on the Varsity Network app. Mike Crispino is pretty good.

The Coach's Show is on now.

Let's hope I can get a good enough signal. Will be in East Lansing for Wisconsin/MSU. Will catch the first half at least from the tailgate.

Past performance is not indicative of future results, but "hit or miss" generally appears to depend on a home team's production capabilities. Ball State's appear to be OK.

It also may be a function of TV deal. The MACs primary parter is ESPN, ESPN may be handling the production for football (like the AAC deal)

I couldn't watch on my phone or smartTV. I had to go through my xFinity box. That was not a pleasant revelation.

ESPN+ is like $5.99 per month. Comes with HULU Live package. So you get some football. All UCONN hockey and many UCONN baseball. I get Greenville Triumph as well.

Less per month than a beer at the restaurant.
