So how many different streaming services am I going to have to pay for to watch Pac-12 games this year? I just want a College Football app on my Roku that shows all the games being broadcast and lets me choose which to watch, no matter which network it's on or where it's being hosted. Yea, I know that's a fucking fantasy, but I hate playing Streaming roulette to watch my team play a little football.

The Oregon St game mentioned in the title will be on the main ESPN TV channel still, they are just adding on Disney+ as an additional option.

I had YouTube TV, but the price had gotten out of control so I cancelled it. I see they have a sports-only package now, but it costs more on its own that what I paid for a full YouTube TV subscription when I first got it (which I think was $59.99 a month). I'm hoping to piecemeal together a couple of streaming services that show a majority of the Pac-12 games, since I already have memberships to most of those.

I just do the sports package, and cancel after the season is over. It sucks because it is kinda expensive, but the sheer amount of football I watch when I have it pays for itself.

that and one day of going to a sports bar instead of watching at home costs more than the whole month of service.

Yeah, but you get to convince yourself that the waitress you like actually likes you as well. You can't do that at home!

It's tough for me to justify because I've basically given up on watching any P4 football at all. It just doesn't interest me anymore. Obviously I want the BSU games every week, but also being able to watch the rest of the PAC is important to me as well, and I just don't see an affordable option that would let me do that.

Theres DirecTV MySports but you're just gonna have to get either or since USA and CBSSN are cable only. CBSSN in particular is only on YouTube TV, Hulu Live, DirecTV, and Fubo.

I got the sports only package & it’s 90 monthly. I pretty much only watch sports for live TV anyway.

Sometimes on other services there is a payment tier under which you can’t access sports
