I'll be watching those if/when available. ALLLL gonna be ppv. You'll pay or ya will listen on the radio (maybe). OR you're gonna pay the upcharge that's gonna hit college sports tickets. Think NCAA and $$$ Wouldn't it be nice to pay $100 a month and access to the majority of the good games every weekend and other sporting events? 😂 Price of NFL tickets will be going up too. SSDD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course some actually drive to and from these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Lots of great college football today. I"m looking forward to that SEC Championship game today. Maybe the Tide can pull off the upset! Who you watching? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2021 When you guys say PPV is coming, like you will pay X to watch each game like a fight, or do you mean the way Direct, Cable, etc. have been having the college football package, which gets more focused (by conference) and more expensive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Just get out your checkbook or start saving now @Travis In Austin In the next few years the pay for the players, the conference, the college, the NCAA are all going to be getting fat off the fans. Another one of the QB's from OSU hit the portal this week. He was going to pick up 1.2 million from OSU for playing 4 years. So he leaves and picks up a check for a couple hundred thousand earned standing on the sideline, goes to another school and picks up more cash. Where's the money coming from? Licensing and trademarks, higher ticket prices, corporate loge boxes, public ticket sales etc. PPV is another way for ESPN to make some cash while kicking back money into the Conferences who snag some then down hill to the Universities. Watch it on major networks for free? Nope, ESPN will pay the local networks to cover the games. They already share things sports related w/other networks. It's gonna be a major cluster f*&) down the road. Sure you can tailgate and go to a game but parking will be minimal and farther away from the event. The close parking will be sold to those partaking in the all-in-one tailgates run by the Uni's. Gotta make money anyway they can. It's down the road but that's what I've been told.

It's a free market and prices charged for events like this have long amazed me. A self inflicted wound caused by those who spend the money and never seem to care how much. The only way to stop this is to refuse to subsidize this and I find few complainers willing to do so. If you are not willing to cut the cable then be quiet and pay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Lets see, Alabama has 365 yds in the first half against the best defense in the country. Maybe they do belong in the big dance LOL. Up 24-17 against the #1 Dogs at the half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
