No, but ESPN+ historically was a cheap add on to Disney+ that required no cable and was widely available to about 236 million homes - I believe about 25 million had the ESPN tile. Was it worse? No, I actually have found the CBS Sports guys do a better job than the lower tier ESPN guys on the casts. JMO. I have YouTubeTV, which has CBSSN as part of its basic service. I'm not sure that subscribing to CBSSN's streaming service gets you anything more than what's on YTTV or other streaming services that include CBSSN. Yeah, it sucked having to subscribe to Peacock to watch the O$U game, but I cancelled right after that so I paid for only one month. There's legislation in the Ohio General Assembly that would prohibit college games from being only on streaming, but I doubt it'll go very far or be upheld in court. As for the coverage they provide, at least CBSSN's on-air team shows a real interest in the teams they're covering. ESPN uses the November Midweek MACtion games just to promote their Saturday game of the week. That “legislation” is just Bill DeMora playing it up to his Buck Nut base. I know Bill. I like Bill. But that was a PR stunt pure and simple. In my dream scenario I would much prefer CBSSN to cover the majority of MAC sports with all games streaming on Paramount Plus and then select games appearing on ESPN networks like select ones appear on CBSSN now. CBS Sports always has way better production value and focus more on the game than the ESPN crews at MAC games. My understanding is that the MAC is going to extend their current deal upping the annual guarantee per school. Hard to imagine a small regional conference getting a better deal even though I’m not a fan of ESPN, at all.

I could toggle the drop down to "MAC" and just see schedule/scores for our conference. So far this year, I toggle to "MAC" and nothing changes. Still Top 25 only. I may try to uninstall and load the app again.

That's pretty decent pedigree duo for a MAC game that will probably draw <20k viewers.

Steele ranks Toledo as 68 and Ohio as 86. But, as a conference we are next last with only the hapless C-USA ranked lower. Speaking of the hapless C-USA, I hope WKU gets included in the potential MAC-Belt merger in a few years and MTSU gets left out as they blew their shot at being in the MAC. Screw them.
