NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
ESPN+/ESPN3 is much more widely available than Bally Sports North, which isn’t currently carried by most providers, and Bally is blacked out for me. If you are a streamer, I’d much rather pay for ESPN+ and get 100s of games vs paying for Bally and get the Bison and maybe a few games.
10 years ago Bally/FSNorth might have been the ticket, but not in 2021. Very limited reach. Bally’s only boost is the Twins, but there’s MLB ways to stream the twins without full Bally purchase.
Yep, Chapo is living in the past. ESPN is where we need to be. Again, I'd still be shocked if they are not on there; I can't imagine WDAY standing in the way of that, lest they want to be have "Flosports" crap slinged at them after Dom ripped them to shreds over the Towson nightmare.
Yeah that was a MTE that wasn't a sanctioned Summit League tournament, just like any other MTE the broadcast rights are up to the tournament organizers/facility. The Pentagon decided to exclusively broadcast that on Midco, the Summit League had no say since it wasn't a Summit League tournament. The only games that could be affected are non-conference home games but as I said before WDAY is an ABC affiliate, nearly every sporting event broadcast on ABC is also on ESPN+ or ESPN3, I would assume NDSU games would fall under that umbrella but I guess I could be wrong. This could also be just an additional option, if people have the WDAY extra service for high school football but no ESPN+ they wouldn't have to get the additional service to stream the games.
