I'm not surprised by the ESPN+ games we got but the number (3 in conference and 2 OOC) and the fact that we actualy got an ESPNU game at HOME. Hopefully we dont end up being a gif again smh

Hopefully we at least get Tiff and Jay for the Alcorn game instead of Jorge smh

Hell, our stupid folks seemed to have moved a saturday afternoon game to friday night and it's the friday after our homecoming game. Just like the debacle with the Thanksgiving game last year, we will not have folks returning to campus on a friday. Should have kept it on saturday and they would show up.

Since coach prime is in houston that weekend he made the call to do that so he can get his shine on 😂

TBH, I dont understand what is so hard abt getting 10-15K fans to a game on a Friday night. Even for those of us who travel to games, we typically fly in on Friday morning or afternoon and you have a huge alumni base in Houston. We have to stop thinking and looking so smalltime.
 

Sup fellas. Question. What where can I find a schedule of games that are streamed. free via YouTube by league or will there be? Any school streaming free on Facebook?
 
Valley always streams its home games (football and basketball) for free on Youtube

Edit: Unless they get moved to HBCU Go like HC has been this year

Don't you have to pay for plus?

ESPN+ yes.....
If I didn't get it free with my Verizon phone plan, I wouldn't be paying extra for it.

The league doesn't stream any football games on their YouTube channel. There are a few schools that do stream their games on YouTube.

I ain't paying for that isht. Our games should be free.
 
Ok peeps. Other than Valley, who streams home games for free on YouTube? I'm a teacher....so I'm poor right now...😭😔😜😁 Got to get my schedule ready
 
SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Football: All 9 of our Division 1 games will be nationally televised. Six will appear on the ESPN family of networks, while one each will appear on NBC, SEC Network, and HBCU Go. If the two games against Division 2 competition are televised, they most likely will be shown on the school's Youtube channel for a nominal fee.
Basketball: All home contests for both men & women, not appearing on other nation-wide platforms, can be viewed on the school's Youtube channel for $9.95 per contest.
Baseball: Home contests can be seen on the school's Youtube channel for $9.95.
Volleyball: I think I heard the A.D. say that volleyball would be added to the streaming lineup this year for a fee..

The two sub D-1 games will be on the Jaguar Sports Network App for about the amount you quoted.

Not sure how things will be this year but remembering from the past you could get grambling, aamu, bama st, valley, bcu, uapb on YouTube. FAMU was on Facebook. alcorn, jsu, southern charges for their game. stu was on a AT&T regional broadcast channel. I think PV will be on ESPN+ for all their games. UAPB did theirs
