My pont is UConn is a highly ranked and visable team with a history, from a major univ in a major conference with a wide and fanatric fan base. What better way to screw those fans than slap them / us with payTV??
Big 10 has Peacock as well.

I'm 45 minutes behind and the audio is like 3 seconds ahead of the video. Is this just for me or for everyone? It's ridiculous.

it doesn't seem to matter which streaming service I'm using. I'm always at least a minute or two behind.

They've got a lot to iron out.

Not being able to see what's happening when scrubbing through the timeline means you're constantly guessing about when to resume. Also, apparently the slowest fast-forward or rewind is still like 20x, which is ridiculous.

And the out of sync issues happened to me about 3x throughout the game, including during crunch time. It was worse because the audio was ahead of the video, making it essentially unwatchable.

Hate that it joins live without giving the option to play from the beginning and it needs both a 10 second jump option and the ability to see what's going on as you're fast forwarding to know when to stop

I think I just read Duke had a game vs George Mason on Peacock. There’s clearly a strategy in play to get the various fanbases to buy it. They underestimate my stubbornness lmao.
They had an NFL playoff game last year and will again this year I believe. They had the Olympics, golf, and now college basketball. They also have some pretty decent original shows and some great old shows. It's an app owned by NBC/Universal. Of course their strategy is to get all kinds of people to buy it in a variety of ways. It's a business with the end goal to generate revenue.

I think it’s an excellent platform. For 17 bucks a month for the commercial free stream, it’s well worth it. But my family uses it a lot. The Value is in how much it gets used.

I paid the entire $7.95 plus tax that came to $8.50. It’s a months worth so I’ll get the DePaul game too so that’s $4.25 per game. Will cut out a single IPA this month to pay for it - maybe.
I ate the $8.50. Couldn't find the 3 month trial anywhere.
