Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Turns out Iowa has been on Peacock twice so far.  Which if I knew that in advance I would have just ordered it for the 5.99 a month.  Oh well.

twice in the same month wouldn't be so bad
I assume they try to target as many fan bases as possible to hit all of them

of course Michigan and Ohio St. are protected

watching the badgers on pee cock

seems to be just fine - with solid audio

Peacock is running a promo for $19.99 for a year

I think I paid $6/month last fall?

I assume we be stuck with about the same number of games on peacock as last season

Michigan is Peacock free for the first four games but I'd expect Peacock to get them for one game so I'd just go with the $5.99 in that case.  Worst case scenario would be two Peacock games over a month apart.  

Realistically I see really only 3 chances for UW to land on Peacock, and they are all in October. One of them is not Penn State.

Did you know you can pause your YouTube TV membership? Maybe it’s summer and you are busy, and you don’t watch it, so you don’t want to pay for it. Maybe you are traveling and don’t want to pay for it. The good news is you can pause your membership from four weeks up to six months. Here is how you do that, according to Google:

Open the YouTube TV app on your Android device or visit tv.youtube.com on a web browser.
Select your profile photo.
Go to Settings then Membership.
Use the slider to choose how many weeks you would like to pause your membership.
Click Pause.
That is all you need to do, and your YouTube TV subscription can be put on hold for up to six months.

This is one more great way cord cutting helps Americans save money. In the past when you had cable TV you signed a long-term contract that forced you to pay for TV even if you didn’t watch it. Now with YouTube TV you can put your subscription on hold when you don’t watch it to save money.

Pulled the trigger yesterday. $20 for a year.

I could not believe that NBC decided to put the freaking US OPEN on this platform yesterday.

Whores.

I wonder the extent to which all this streaming push is going to just reduce interest in sports in general. 

It seems like they keep testing the waters to see how far fans will go. Hell, putting an NFL *playoff* game on streaming? That was just a test to see if they could monetize it. They think they have us over a barrel and we're just going to pay and pay and pay. But I think at some point, we're just going to stop subscribing and say "eh, this game / event isn't important enough to watch."

For me, with golf I'm lucky in that Hulu Live TV includes ESPN+, which broadcasts early round coverage of PGAT events. However, if it wasn't included, I wouldn't subscribe to it individually just to watch early round golf coverage. I'd wait until it's on the Golf Channel or networks. Likewise with the US Open, I would LOVE to have this early round coverage, but I'm not subscribing to Peacock just for that and maybe a few other sporting events in CFB/NCAABB. So I'm not watching the US Open coverage on Peacock. At least it's only the early rounds. But if the US Open entire tournament was ONLY available on Peacock? Still wouldn't subscribe, even though it's one of the four most important tournaments a year. It's not that important to me. 

When these things get fractured into 17 different apps and NONE of them have everything, I think fans are just toing to throw up their hands and say they'd rather not watch than be piecemealed into all the apps. 

Maybe it's just my internal curmudgeon, but when something is on an app I don't have, I don't look for ways to subscribe. I just watch [or do] something else. Not even Purdue games [now that I don't have reason to continue my boycott] are important enough for me to subscribe to Peacock, if it's only going to be 1-2 games per year. Even if it's only $20/year.

Sports are the most compelling content keeping live broadcasts going. But if you make them too hard and inconvenient to access, eventually you're just going to kill demand.

I still am pondering doing YouTube TV.  Right now, I have Fubo TV, which can also be paused for up to six months - I did that last year after the football and volleyball seasons ended. Between that, Peacock, Paramount+ I am ok.  My sister pays for Prime and my son pays for Disney+ and Netflix, so between the three of us, we have most of what we want to watch covered.
