How does espn+ work exactly? What if you already get espn and some of its more exotic variants, such as espnu, through a cable subscription?

I've looked a few places on the Web, and they say it's like HBO Now. But when faced with HBO Now vs adding HBO to my cable package, it made more sense to subscribe to the cable package. Espn+, however, seems entirely separate from the ESPN cable package.

If so, this business model seems a bit weird. (1) They're still selling advertising on espn+, so why truncate the viewing audience. (2) Why not offer a bundle of ESPN cable + discounted espn+ to capture a larger market?

watch espn is somehting most people pay for thru their internet provider/TV provider.. this is additional money they can earn by showing other stuff.  it actually has some stuff with no commercial interruptions.. its very soccer heavy. but just the fact you can get all the ivy games for $50 a year its a bargain.

i do wonder what it does to the espn college extra package directv has. if the games would show up there without extra streaming that would be sweet.

Spectrum is the new face of Time Warner since their buyout. I had a sports tier package on Time Warner that was $12 per month. It included the Fox sports stations and a lot more.  When transitioning to a Spectrum package I tried to wean myself off the sports tier for the summer.

Instead the rep gave me the Silver package free for a year to feed my addiction.  It includes a bunch of ESPN stations but today I noticed I don't get the Fox and BTN channels.

Yet friend is paying something like $12 per month just to get the Golf channel!?!

Choice is a bitch.

But I am looking forward to ESPN+. ;-)

Great story. I didn't know much about it. Very inspiring.

But here's one thing the Cornell Chronicle story leaves out that I've read elsewhere. Jake was visiting Yale when he got the call from Cornell's coaches saying they wanted him. He immediately accepted and went to tell the Yale coaches he would be going to Cornell.

In a world where everyday I wake up and mutter to myself, "you can't make this stuff up," usually thinking about the latest sleazy, treasonous, and/or unbelievably stupid thing coming over the news, it's really great to have a story that falls into the believe-it-or-not category but is as inspiring as this one.

It makes me feel the least I can do is set a reminder to vote every day. With a story like this, it's hard to imagine how anyone wouldn't select Jake.

Thanks for posting this, CU77.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the history of Brown upsets might be over today.

Our snots are beating their snots 13-3 in the third and I'm not sure Brown is trying.  Actually I'm not sure we're trying.

Bummer.  I was hoping for another 20 goal game.  ::whistle::

Very nice win, great for the seniors and the returning 76-77-78 "streak" alums!

Hard to believe North Caroline played its last game of the season today.

And they won.  Just not by 8 goals.

and they might have knocked ND out of the tourney if they cant win 1 of the last 2 to stay over .500

I assume this applies to multiple devices: maximum daily votes = sum(device x browsers on device for all devices), with devices = home desktop, work desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, Fire TV, ... . ::crazy::

As long as an ACC school is eligible for the tournament they are on the bubble.  Who you lose to is very important in college lacrosse, far more important than actually winning games.
