It is going to be interesting to see if HBCU Go sell the distribution rights to some of the D2 games to national outlets given they don't have the capacity to show all of the D2 games from the CIAA and SIAC.
 
:rolleyes: IF this was already posted, I am sure somebody will let me know it. 🤭

Not ONE Valley game. Not even on ESPN+. Pitiful (know the TxSU and Murray State games are on ESPN+ but still)

Wouldn't surprise me that PV game is the HBCUGo game)

Is HBCUGO still a thing I haven’t seen their schedule yet.

ESPN has first dibs at all the games then HBCUGo will get what's left. I prefer them over ESPN anyday (especially ESPN+) except maybe the ESPNU games

Valley will most likely end up on 1-2 HBCUGo broadcasts (I will bet on either the PV or AAMU games). I think Valley has made an effort to focus on streaming over ESPN+

I agree - they do a much better presentation as it's their only game of the day or so so all resources are pulled together and it's free to watch

just look at the cotton bowl game from 2022 and 2023 and tell me what's the difference?
