Maybe not. Many in Pac 9 need to buy time. This may be the perfect band aid.It might be the way to go in the future, but it is going to cause the PAC-9 to keep losing members.

While a smaller share to be sure, I think I saw Colorado gets three times as many kids from California as Texas. It was one of the things that led them to the pac last decade, but wasn’t compelling enough now.
Maybe. But I thought the NFL games on Amazon were terrible/inconvenient/cumbersome. I watched once and refused to go back.Apple TV/Amazon/YouTube is way to go. That is going to dominate content in coming years.
The problem with Amazon is that every Thursday Night Football game was crappy match ups. The production was fine.Maybe. But I thought the NFL games on Amazon were terrible/inconvenient/cumbersome. I watched once and refused to go back.
I am a “basketball first” fan. Been a die hard my entire life. I’m a relatively new UConn football fan (never really cared for college football until recently. Only NFL).Nah. There is a large segment of fans and media that are “basketball people.”
They prioritize basketball above the entire athletic department.
PBS used to carry WBBMaybe. But I thought the NFL games on Amazon were terrible/inconvenient/cumbersome. I watched once and refused to go back.
According to random guys on twitter?Uh, the Big 12? Which is why they are trying to poach them?
The real issue is right now for college athletics is ESPN and FS1 are provided by all cable companies.The problem with Amazon is that every Thursday Night Football game was crappy match ups. The production was fine.
Nah I’m a channel flipper. I want to bounce around. It’s a pain in the tucchus to do that on these streamers. You switch away for 30 seconds and then gotta wait 30 for system to re log you in. Awful.The problem with Amazon is that every Thursday Night Football game was crappy match ups. The production was fine.
It has gotten a lot better. Apple stuff is good too.Maybe. But I thought the NFL games on Amazon were terrible/inconvenient/cumbersome. I watched once and refused to go back.
Streaming, as constituted, is not the future. They have to integrate the platforms into the typical channel surfing model. Having to download/update apps, plug in USB devices, etc is too much work and/or too confusing for it to be adopted en masse. This is before we consider the current web of a la carte streaming subscriptions people pay for across numerous platforms.
I started to make the same reply, then I think what he's talking about is the 10 seconds to log into each individual app.You can buy a 50" smart TV for $200 that can get any app you want.
Apple TV is the streaming platform I primarily use now. Their shows are so good.It has gotten a lot better. Apple stuff is good too.
And it blows compared to cable tv.You can buy a 50" smart TV for $200 that can get any app you want.
For anyone interested. The Arizona BOR meeting starts at 6:30 eastern time. Search ABOR on YouTube.
Access to the hardware is not the point, it's the platform. Apps must be downloaded, updated, often using clunky and confusing embedded UIs made by the TV manufacturer. You have to input your email and a password to get access to the content. It's not as simple as plug in the TV, hit channel 849 and get ESPN. That's before you consider the payment, subscription, sufficient internet connection, etc.You can buy a 50" smart TV for $200 that can get any app you want.
Hijack is terrific.Apple TV is the streaming platform I primarily use now. Their shows are so good.
Insane that we watch this stuff.For anyone interested. The Arizona BOR meeting starts at 6:30 eastern time. Search ABOR on YouTube.
As is The Crowded RoomHijack is terrific.
1) East Hartford/Hartford and Storrs are not making many must-visit listsIt will be very hard though to get them to travel to B12 locales other than Orlando. This conference really is unappealing. Some places like Lawrence, Kansas could have appeal, but they're hard to get to from Hartford.
Ever been to Stillwater, OK? I have. It was hard to keep my jaw from dropping as I was driven through town. And I don't mean that in a good way. The coals joke that it got its name not because the water was still but because there was still some water over there.
1. Have you been to these places?1) East Hartford/Hartford and Storrs are not making many must-visit lists
2) I visit opposing schools to support UCONN.
3) Most of the Big 12 schools have relatively easy flights from Bradley, NYC, and/Logan
Scheer is also biased. He’s just good at reading the room.This guy and the Altimore dude from the San Jose Mercury News have been carrying water for the PAC all spring and summer. He dismissed CU leaving straight away. Don’t consider him ‘Key’. Put him in ‘Biased’
Most reliable have been Scheer from Arizona and Marchand from NY Post although the latter doesn’t really break news and comes at it more from a media $$ perspective
