I have been an ND fan since I was seven years old in 1964. I am a third generation ND fan. All of my extended family have been ND fans since ND beat Army with the forward pass in 1913.
That said, I have zero interest in tuning in for classic game replays, coaches shows and the like. ND already does this digitally with Watch ND apps and its digital media at und.com.
I don't pay attention to coaches shows, practice reports, whatever. I don't watch Sportscenter or ESPN at all, except for live ND games. I don't watch pre-game, halftime or post-game shows. It is all word pablum. Just tune in for live action at kickoff.
I want to see live games, not old stuff, practice reports, coaches shows, etc... If an ACC channel starts up and puts on ND baseball games, I will tune in. I can watch ND beat Alabama in 1973 on YouTube, but don't.
If I were a Big Ten fan, I wouldn't watch the Big Ten Channel either.
I, for the most part, agree. There was some historical stuff on the BTN that was pretty cool (Big10 Icons was a good series) and do like the summer practice reports. Historical games? Not so much. I think that's why there was the push to get hockey and lacrosse started, so they can have more live programming.
