Are you asking for ESPN content for $5/mo? ESPN+ is already that and doesn’t

Does this mean that CFB will be far less valuable in the future?

The cost of ESPN+ will have to go up to make up for the money they lose from

I'd be down. I'd probably pay up to about $30 to have the equivalent of the coverage the family of ESPN networks

Live sports is still the only place where people watch commercials

ESPN+ subscriptions are up because they forced it on all Hulu Live subscribers.
