For $10/month, that OTT option better have some good content

My comparison is the $35 or so Sling and Vue run, which deliver a pile of channels.

That said, there are some interesting ways this streaming option could be structured. Similar to how the MLB.tv works, where you pick your favorite team and it caters content to you accordingly, imagine being able to watch 15 school-specific "sub-streams", each of which run school-specific content. Plus a main stream that has the live games of the week, and conference news. Whereas with the linear channel your stuck watching what they program, the OTT option could let you watch just your school's content all day!

I think this was required as "insurance" to ESPN -- CobbCountyHokie 07/19/2016 12:23PM
