Holy Toledo!

 

[coachcap]

Already Domer fans are calling the sports radio channels to voice their displeasure.

Notre Dame's season opener vs FSU is at &:7:30 on ABC......

Interesting to compare numbers...ABC vs streaming Toledo.

So....it's not just peacock...it's on premium peacock....paid subscription. Wow.

This trend really sucks. If I have to go paid app to paid app...I will just be watching UConn games...no flipping around to multiple games. Definitely impacts the fan experience.

 

[HartfordHank]

If I am paying to watch and getting the absurd number of ads on a typical ND Game on NBC I am not going to be happy. If I am paying I expect far fewer ads.

I’ve been saying this is coming…the AAC deal was a glimpse into the future. Within a couple of years, 10 at the most, more likely sooner, most teams will be streaming most games. When ESPN is hemorrhaging viewers it can’t really go any other way.

and yet..2019..

• ESPN's networks increased their audience year-over-year in every category: the regular season, bowl season, the CFP Semifinals, the CFP National Championship and "College GameDay Built by The Home Depot," which delivered its most-watched season since 2015.

Yes, streaming is the future. But we are not there yet, and 7MM per year is not enough to stop the bleeding that was happening with most of our sports.

Easy fix. All they need do is call the grandkids of UConn WBB fans.

Who really cares. Screw ND and their football team, basketball team, baseball team………

As the Toledo-ND game runs up against UConn's game with Purdue, most UConn supporters have their priorities straight.

Peacock also shows every WWE PPV - I have Comcast-comes with Peacock.

I have Xfinity cable. Peacock, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, ESPN3, YouTube TV,… are all available with one click. It is pretty simple.

Agreed. But i think the direction is clear. Within 10 years we will be back to a game of the week, well a few “games of the. Week actually.” Everything else will be streaming.

Believe the Big 12 teams all control T3 rights and as a result OU has done 1 PPV game a year on “Sooner Sports Network” which is just a partnership with Fox Sports/Bally regional networks. OU had Army and Tulane previously on PPV games and I know when NU was still in the Big 12 we would have a PPV game per year as well

 

[UCFBfan]

Did I read that right....$54.99 for ONE game?? Against an FCS team?!? Holy heck

LOL Phil....

I can manage...with Direct TV, Comcast, Firestick (which my Samsung has made superfluous), Prime, Netflix, Acorn, BBC PBS, etc....we usually stream on the 65", I can gp through the smart hub on my Samsung, or I can mirror from my chromebook..and I am pretty damn old.

If you think about it...we are dumbed down in the later generations.

50 years ago, a car manual showed you how to adjust the valves. Today they warn you not to drink the contents of the battery.
