Apparently Sunday at 12 women's volleyball is more important than a football game

    The secn is showing Georgia vs Missouri College women's volleyball instead of our game but ESPN is showing sc vs sc state on Thursday. So unfair.

    I wonder if the football game might get picked up. They had to reschedule on short notice, so it may take the networks some time to shift things around.

    Wonder if the NFL games have anything to do with it.

    The + are guaranteed one streaming only game from each team, USCe already had theirs vs Georgia State.

    Go old school and listen to our new Gator radio announcers. Gives you a chance to weigh in on how they are doing.

    They weren't going to cancel or move already scheduled programs. About all they do is to put a game that has started and scheduled on ESPN News until the other game is over. A game is different than the news.

    Nobody is going to change their TV schedule to watch a disappointing 2-2 team beat up a 1-2 FCS team coming off a loss to Montana State after letting Oregon hang 70 the week before, on a field that was just flooded by a hurricane. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on that one.

    College games cannot go up against the NFL during the regular season.

    I am pretty sure each SEC is contractually bound to have one + game per year.
    This is more to promote the ESPN + channel than it is to select the optimal vehicle to televise the program to the most eyes.

    This is what you are referring to:


    “In addition, the agreement features the right for ESPN to move a limited number of non-conference games in football and men's basketball to ESPN+ beginning in the 2021-22 season. One added benefit of a game appearing on ESPN+ is that the home institution will determine the start time”

    I know some like espn+ but I have enough streaming services I don’t need another one. Especially not paying to watch this game vs FCS. I’ll take the suggestion of a prior poster to try the new radio team (or free stream through the vpn on some free site).

    We had to listen to him during the first half of the Kentucky game because we lost cable and internet. My issue with him is that he didn’t give enough description of what happened. Had to get a clue from the crowd noise.
