PAC12 To Air on Apple+…?

Once sports eventually goes to streaming, I’ll officially be able to cut the cable. Wish it would happen sooner rather than later. It’s coming. Well I really don’t have cable but have Hulu live tv which may as well be cable.

Can't ya cut it now with ESPN+? I guess CBS for another year>?
 
Streaming is awful. We’re a full minute at least behind the action. That creates disadvantages for us high rollers. It’s not like golf. We need to see within two seconds what people are seeing live at the arena/stadium, etc.

So let me get this straight

- apple + is 7 bucks a monthly
- not a ton of sellouts in pac12 when i see them on tv….so I’ll assume tv viewers is not great
- they just lost usc and ucla to big10

So why would anyone pay for apple + in the future to watch that football?
 
I used to have an Android box and run kodi. Last time I tried to watch a fight btv was always shutting down then you would have to try to find another stream.

I may end up ordering me a nvidia shield though. I’ve been looking at them. If so, I may give it another whirl.

I've watched FCC matches on over the air local Cincy station since they began some six years ago. Now they will be shown only on Apple with rare exception. Now requiring payment for a restricted service system to see just them is elitest. Can say same for PAC12. I'd say same for SEC if they went that way. Not doing.

They shouldn't complain. That is right up there with some of the upper tier conferences......in the FCS.

PAC 12 might be able to merge with the Big Sky conference. Those Cal-Poly Mustangs are a tough out!

GBB!

Streaming live sports sucks. Great for movies, or binging a series. On Sat afternoons and nights I want my clicker in hand and flip between the best action of 3 or 4 or 5 games.

That can be done with games on Fox, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Net.

Impossible if the options are Paramount, ESPN+, Amazon, Apple. You can't flip between apps!

It is practice for Apple+ for future bidding on NFL and major college conferences. They still have to build their production capabilities.
