    Not sure how they can keep shelling out that kind of money when the subscriber base is plummeting.

    Because that’s the only thing I looked at while cutting the cord.

    I have YouTube tv just for ball games and the local news.

    They have no choice. Football is the only thing people will pay for

    Me neither. Which is why I think they have to start putting that type of stuff on it. Cause I don’t know anybody who has it.

    I have it. For 5 bucks a month, I've watched a couple of early season UT games and a game here and there not available anywhere else. If it was $15, I wouldn't even bother. I'd say I get about 5 bucks worth of it a month.

    Manning would win the Heisman in a landslide in 2019.

    There always seems to be tension between ESPN and the broadcast carriers. The more content they have, the more content they can demand. My guess would be they are going to make a move toward being able to say pay us or we'll just stream it. That'll anger some folks, but they'll still do what they have to for the programming.

    Yeah, I'm streaming today's game from ESPN+ now.

    I get some games I otherwise wouldn't. Some UFC stuff on there I have watched. Wife had Hulu...now for just the price of what Hulu was costing us, you can get the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle

    The CBS intro music is iconic and I cannot imagine watching SEC football without it.

    CBS played a major role in creating the SEC brand and how we understand SEC “speed” and it “just means more” and all that. When they won rights to SEC games, the Big Ten was still the bell cow of NCAA football. CBS helped to change that narrative.

    The conference will benefit from the money but we will miss the attention of CBS game of the week.
