Yeah Local Access Cable-seems like that AAC TV contract is not as strong as in past years

I hope it's better for basketball

Non-conference games are different inventory. All of our conference games should at least be on ESPNU as in the past seasons.

The fact our home non-conference games are even on ESPN3 is still a huge step up from the pre-American days.

TCU at home is usually ESPN2 or better.

I don't see how anyone who was around for the days of radio-only or C-USA "All Access" can complain at all about having to watch on ESPN3.

Get a roku/Apple TV/Chromecast/Fire TV or even an iPad and it's 1000x better than it was not even a decade ago.

There was a serious issue with the ESPN3 feed/broadcast last week. Brought back memories of All-Access. Given the volume of programming they try to make available, the quality suffers - they don't have the support needed.

With all of the games that are getting cancelled due to hurricanes, seems like there should be some space to fill on one of the ESPN networks...

Everyone whining needs to remember last year's game at UNT was only available streaming on some random website I'd never heard of.
I don't get why these patsy non-con games deserve to be on TV. ESPN3 usually works fine. And it's 2017, so go buy a Roku stick for $49.

Not true, I can't remember what channel it was, but there was a network that broadcast the SMU, North Texas State game last year. I still have it dvr'd.

yeah but NTSU's home game TV rights are owned by CUSA. It was probably Ch. 21 or something-they've televised several NTSU games
