Can someone explain? I couldn't make game 1 and like others had issues getting ESPN3 to play the game. Eventually I got it to play on ESPN3. Now it appears some games will be on ESPN+ and don't really see any others that are set for ESPN3. Is this the future? The games will all be on ESPN+ a subscription style platform?

All SBC conference games will be on ESPN+, which is ESPN's stand alone subscription service. $4.99/month, no contract. This the future of our conference games.

Most games will be on the Plus. Don’t know why they opted for The Trey in the first game.

The Plus had a huge announcement this past spring.

It doesn't give you access to games actually on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.

Not that it's a huge deal, but with ESPN+ you get what used to be called ESPN Insider features on their website included with the subscription.

Those are cable channels and require a cable subscription. Of course there are alternatives to paying the big boys like Cox, Comcast, etc.

We have one other game on ESPN3 this season. I think it's against NMSU but I'm not sure.
