At least ESPN won't put the playoffs behind a paywall. They air every bowl game on a channel. Meanwhile the NFL is moving to putting playoff games behind paywalls

The AntiChrist and Great ***** joining. It's the end time folks. Revelations speaks of this in the Bible.

I hope not … I hate ESiPN

Would much rather have Fowler and Herbie then Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt.

So, sip in playoffs every year for next 8 seasons confirmed.

ESPN has to recoup that gigantic loss from the bevo network somehow. 8 years of favoritism and zebra activation will help.

I don't much care for ESPN and the f'd up way they do business these days, but this is 100% true. Gus Johnson is too much. Herbie & Fowler are really good.

At ESPN, Fowler and Rece Davis are fine, but I'd like to pee on Herbstreit.

Define paywall. ESPN is expected to be Direct to Consumer by 2025, and is racing to beat that by the end of this year.

You're going to end up paying for everything, just like you always have.

Peacock/NBC paid the NFL $110M for the Dolphins/Chiefs game. (Betting they can get 10M+ to pay $6/month for at least 2 months on average).

Whether you pay YouTube TV $70/month for everything, or ESPN $30, plus Fox $15, plus CBS $15 plus NBC/Peacock $10…it's all gonna come out in the wash unless you're cherry picking.

I prefer when games are on networks I can watch for free over the air.

With ads…which are also on cable/sat/stream…though sometimes different syndication of local ads. For "free" tv you are the product.

If SEC is ESPN end to end, and the CFB playoff is ESPN end to end, then I don't have to buy anything else. Maybe we play a B1G team in the postseason and I have to pay for a month to watch that, but I'm not going to concern myself.

So would Herb, he's a huge Vaj.

Aren't the head of the CFP and an ESPN VP of programming brothers? If so, major conflict of interest that needs to be dealt with, perhaps in a court.

No, Tim Corrigan works in Production, not Programming.

And also no, Boo Corrigan is not the head of the CFP. That would be Richard Clark/Bill Hancock. They are in charge of negotiating the rights with the networks. Boo is merely on a rotation as part of the committee that ranks the teams- where he is held in check by the other 12 members of the committee.

You clearly have no idea how the legal system works- you're just yelling at clouds.
