ESPN Pressure..Who bought Gameplan for the Bison?

[missingnumber7]

Has anyone considered that they do that to make sure that they get maximum attendance...not an issue at NDSU because of the Fargodome, but for other places where attendance is not as good...aka Eastern Kentucky

ESPN3 steams at full 1080P(maybe its 720P), they are either putting it on to many tv's or have a shitty connection.

It's too bad an employee of Cable One with a little more power than Scott can't make this happen. I know Scott is the general manager but I think Twentysix works there too. Aren't you the CEO or something?

How about I just want simply what all of us payed for on Gameplan. The espn 3 quality isnt that horrible, its the principal.

It honestly doesn't make alot of sense on ESPN's part, unless there is some hidden cost we don't understand. I would assume its as simple as sending out a second feed to channels that already exist. Unless the way ESPN/2/U operate(broadcast) is completely different than the way ESPN3 operates. I don't recall anyone on bisonville working for espn, probably wont get an answer.

Entities that could pressure espn:

Comcast
Time Warner
The Washington Post
Dish Network
Direct Tv
Government officials

The Fargo market doesn't represent enough $$ for it to matter to the satellite companies.
Comcast and Time Warner have no stake here. And Cableone corporate doesn't even listen to the Fargo branch why would The Washington Post listen to the Fargo Cableone.

I have already emailed and called ESPN about the game. I've told them that I bought the Gameplan for the season, knowing that last year they covered all the FCS playoffs. I just emailed them again reminding them both Montana schools were on the main ESPN this weekend and the #1 and #2 teams were stuck on ESPN3. Also pointed on that D-II and D-III playoff games were on Gameplan this weekend and these aren't even their finals.
