While Lamar game is ESPN+, it looks like all of the other games on the schedule are yet to be announced for TV (other than Maryland FS1 and Tulane on ESPN).
Will rest of the schedule be on the regular ESPN lines (ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, etc) or on ESPN+?
Is this decided week by week for the AAC games?
Seems our weakest game on the schedule (Tulane) is already stated for ESPN due to Thursday Kickoff. Perhaps Tulsa gets ESPN+?
Trying to decide if I sign up for ESPN+ to potentially watch one game (Lamar).

Plus many SMU men and women's basketball, soccer, volleyball, swimming and golf events. In addition, because ESPN+ is so important to Disney, I'm sure there's a metric for subscriber's favorite teams. A subscription with a SMU favor is a tick mark for SMU as ESPN looks at it's viewer value models. I also enjoy the ESPN+ subscriber content which includes exclusive articles and editorials that are worth reading.

Additional question- is Rich Phillips no longer doing PBP of our games? I clicked on the SMU Athletic site and clicked on KTCK- got a 404 message that that site no longer existed. So, I went on-line to KTCK and no game, no Rich, just the usual chatter.
Frustrating to say the least. Any ideas. And no, I don't want to download a bunch of apps/ads. etc.

Rich is absolutely doing PBP. His audio highlights from NTSU are as solid as ever. He is also on here periodically. Hi Rich!

Then is he no longer on KTCK- the ticket? Do not understand why I go to KTCK and can not get the game.

The broadcast may have been shifted to another station if something else took priority, but the rest of the games are all scheduled for KTCK as usual.

Good points. The Hilltop alone made it worthwhile last season (though I am not sure it is back).
We had so many subscriptions (Spotify, ESPN+, Disney, Netflix, HBOPlus, Amazon Prime, MLB, etc. etc) that we paired down last spring and ESPN got cut (in favor of MLB).
I think Netflix may be on the chopping block in favor of ESPN+ now.

Redpony is in Peru. I think they have Avocado TV rather than Apple.

I won't subscribe to any of this but man do I wish at the minimum they had a "SMU only" subscription or just per game pay.
