Why avoid we need to spend $$ on so many different streaming services to watch PSU wrestle? Why can't they contract with one instead of so many? I know it is a hosting venue thing but as of now.I have had to purchase Rokfin, ESPN Plus and Big10 plus and we are only a few meets into the season.
Its a absolute crock!!

Be grateful it's on TV, I guess? I don't know. B10plus gives you the ability to select which school and sport you want, so it becomes inconsequential. ESPN+ is bundled with my hulu and disney+, which I watch and rokfin I subscribed to bc it supports Willie and NLWC.
As long as we’re venting, I’d prefer if Penn State paid me to watch all the matches and supply my commentary.
I wish I’d get paid to do commentary for PSU duals too, but I curse way too much to commentate a close dual meet
Yeah sucks but it is what it is. I did drop my cable subscription a few weeks ago and went with youtube tv on fire stick. With that, plus my big ten plus, rokfin and ESPN plus subscriptions, I'm still 50 bucks cheaper a month than if I just had cable.
My sister in-law just canceled her cable aswell after complaining of the price constantly for years. She is 38$/month "ahead" now.
This is after my wife sat down and helped her with a new monthly budget. Turns out my sister-in-law spends roughly 250$/month on Starbucks/Cold brews/Kambucha/sparkle water etc.
Good thing she saved that 38$
Will you be able to get the BTN tv broadcasts via your yoube tv? It’s absurd, but BTN+ will not provide the BTN telecasts live (only on replay).
You gotta practice your Illegal Fist to the Back calls before we mute Byers.
I’ll bet you a month of BTN+ that you buy moronic stupid shit without a glimmer of thought that ends up costing 10x more than any of these monthly streaming rates.
Yep BTN is part of the standard package. Made sure of that before ordering.
My buddy and I got to do radio commentary for one match a long time ago. I don't remember how we managed to get seats right behind Fran Fisher, but he wasn't too happy about it.
Oh I don’t wanna replace Jeff. I was thinking more I could just send them an email after every match or something.
If you can bring your hips to the party, we can find another spot for you. No sh**.
At NCAA's in MSG I was wandering around and saw the little room JB was broadcasting from. I wanted to enter and help spot for him, but didn't think he would appreciate me inviting myself. Missed opportunity!
Yes. I have the big ten network, acc network, sec network, espn 1, 2 and university addition, fox sports 1 and 2, nbc sports and cbs sports and also mlb and nfl networks. I also got my local channels out of Johnstown, Altoona and State College. I also have every other channel I had with cable except one and it’s one I like a lot… the history channel. But it’s worth it to me to switch in my opinion. I now pay 68 bucks for TVs instead of over 150 I was spending on cable. I’m not really getting Big ten +, espn+ and Rokfin for free but it kinda feels like it since I save so much switching from cable. I owe the guys here on this board my gratitude for talking me into switching.
I’ll be honest, during wrestling season there’s so much wrestling on live and archived in my subscriptions that I couldn’t possibly find time to use things like Netflix and those other movie services.
Without a doubt what you just there is an understatement. Last week when I watched the match on Big+ I was pleasantly surprised he was calling the match on there. Saved me from having to try to sync up the JBs radio call to the tv.
We'll probably get the student broadcasters once the conference schedule picks up, but it's always a treat to have both video and JB in sync to begin with.
Now if that was $250 on beer it would all make sense…My sister in-law just canceled her cable aswell after complaining of the price constantly for years. She is 38$/month "ahead" now.

It is what it is, but it did not have to be what it is. In fact, Teddy Roosevelt gave us about 100 years of feeling we don’t have to submit to Darwinian competition among giants. Instead we felt we could and should protect ~efficient markets against giants who would with their giant market power break ~efficient markets.
For example, when a few movie studios were vertically integrating with theater chains of their own to restrict consumer choice, the regulators protected the ~efficient market by forbidding movie studio content creators from owning the final, retail part of the distribution chain, the theaters.
Broadly, an efficient market and its benefits only exist under certain conditions, and if monopolies and the like, or externalities, or high transaction costs, get in the way, then the market is no longer efficient. Many people misnamed the efficient market a “free market”, and used the word “free” to imply a religion that all regulation is bad. And that is where we are, government by slogans instead of actual net benefits or actual efficiency. And we feel helpless and think that being helpless is normal and good because being helpless is part of our dogmatic sloganriffic religion.

Yes. They do. I had to check because for some odd reason I told my girlfriend weeks ago that I’d take her out to the new Habachi grill in Jtown. Unlike me not to check if my being nice to her would cause me to miss my wrestling. Lol
My opinion is that there is the possibility of design. It does not have to be what it is. We are … Sapiens Sapiens. Any opinion more specific is beyond the scope of this forum, and would not be worthwhile. In the same way that discussing COVID is pointless in this forum, because the discussion would be clogged up with junk science, and slogans, and dogma, and garbage.
On my fire stick you just go to the espn app and in there you can access espn+
For thirty days.
FWIW, don't expect B1G quality on this stream. Although it says "ESPN", it is not an ESPN production. It's a Penn production, and some Ivy streams are pretty bad (Cornell among the worst). I've seen at least one in which the commentator apparently had never been to a wrestling match before.
I am using a fire stick as well. Not having luck. Once on the espn app, how do you access espn +
When I open espn app. At the top of screen there’s a tab that says espn+. I click on it and logged in.
I can access the ESPN App on my Cable (Xfinity) - can access Hulu as well.... However, when I access ESPN+ through ESPN App it wants a subscription and doesn't recognize my Hulu subscription for access.
There is a bundle that Hulu, ESPN+ and Disney can be purchased together.
ESPN+ isn't accessed through Hulu.
