2019-20 Basketball Schedule

[clenz]

When my ESPN+ subscription came up for renewal last month, I was informed that paying monthly was no longer an option. I had to renew at the annual rate of $59. Same price basically, just have pay for 12 months now instead of dropping it after the college basketball ends.

What? Mine just renewed at the beginning of the month and I'm still monthly. I just checked my subscription and it's still set as monthly. I went through the subscribe feature with a new account and it was monthly.

How did you subscribe - mobile or PC? Who controls your billing for it? I subbed through the Google Play Store so all my billing goes through there and have had no changes. I also can't find anything about that on Twitter or Google.

Interesting, considering their whole thing was pay for it as you want it and not being "locked into a contract"

Yea. I didn't try to sign up but on their website... "$4.99 a month or $49.99 a year"

Just signed up for the first time and was given the choice of monthly or annual.

No thanks to UNI Sports Information, the full TV schedule has been updated in the post.

Northern Illinois is the only mystery at this point. I'm guessing its ends up ESPN+ but No TV is also a possibility. The true bummer there is we play football at home at nearly the exact same time so unless they send Braley and move it to 107.5 in the metro, I don't think there will be any coverage of it.

I also was able to re-subscribe for just monthly.

Thanks for the responses and the updated TV schedule - most helpful. I too show the option to go either monthly or annually for ESPN+ when I looked yesterday.
I’ll try one more time on the MVC-TV only games. Does anybody know if those will be televised/ streamed outside of the Fox Sports Midwest footprint?

Available on ESPN+ outside of Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana

Available on FoxSportsGo inside Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana

I believe the MVC-TV games are also on NBC Sports Chicago.

I cancelled after the season ended in February and haven't used ESPN+ since, but I recall that every game was a delayed access to the stream (streaming wasn't available for about 5 minutes into the ballgame). The game wasn't being shown in delay, however, I just missed the first few minutes of the game because the streaming wouldn't start....every single game.
Did anyone else have this problem last year, and does anyone know if the issue remains now?

I only had that issue once and it was a production error at Indiana State.

I've had no issues with it at all and I use it quite a bit. 98% of streaming issues are on the user's end whether it be internet speed or device failure.

ESPN+ was horrific early on I can see why someone would can it. But they have fixed now except sometimes their calendar of games has wrong times on it.

ESPN3 and ESPN+ network assignments are out. No rhyme or reason to any of them but they're updated in the original post.

I probably already asked this but when will the @Drake time be announced? Sooner than the week before?

21 days out. If I were a betting man, I'd say 1:00 or 5:00 are by far the most likely.
