Ric Flair! Got it. Keepin’ it real E…
All year long the stadium is full and the games are televised. Now they want to gouge us for 80 bucks to watch the playoffs. I am no longer a fan.
Who do think “they” is? Is it ESPN who sets the pricing? Cableone who doesn’t offer the single-weekend pass(approx. $25)? The NCAA who agreed to the contract giving control to ESPN? Or NDSU who has no control over the situation?
Or were you being facetious and it went totally over my head?
Take a step back and a deep breath.
NDSU has no control over playoff television coverage.
And, IMHO, CableOne is doing the right thing by not carrying ESPN3, which ESPN is doing its damnedest to use to break the Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESPN3#Criticism
There are numerous fine establishments that pay for ESPN GamePlan where you can go to and watch the game for free.
Dave welcome to the wonderful world of ESPN…..
Welcome to the real world of NCAA FCS football. ESPN is in it to make money, not allow everyone who wishes to jump on the bandwagon at the end of the year have a free viewing party.
Purchase a ticket to the game if you really want to see the game. There has to be tickets available on the secondary market.
Standing room tickets are still available. Go to the NCAA ticket page. http://www.ncaa.com/tickets/
It will only cost you $18 to get in the game.
