Peacock is the best streaming service for sports fans, and the price is right. Get rid of Hulu and Disney+ the kids don’t watch princess movies that often for $100 bucks a year, get Peacock and YouTube TV and you’re set and saving $400 bucks a month to get everything you actually watch and stop paying for the Lawn Mowing Network

That is a good annual price. However if you have DirectTV Stream you can add it for $3.99 per month and cancel at anytime. It's then good through the end of your billing month. That is a better option than the full year for most if they only plan to watch college football/basketball. Others services probably offer Peacock for free or have similar discounts as well.

I am curious. Why do you think Peacock is best for streaming sports? I have been a Peacock subscriber for over 2 years and don't think they have much for sports. I originally subscribed for the FIS Skiing but Peacock only had US & Austria events last season. Peacock is great for Premier League football and rugby no doubt. Golf can be good. However the best sports service is still ESPN+. They pretty much have everything except Premier League. I watch a lot of college hockey so ESPN+ is a must. If you are a college sports fan, they pretty much have every sport on demand.

Not sure if it is possible to describe any one system as "the best" as things currently exist. Depends on you personal interests. For example, as a West Ham fan, most matches are on Peacock so for me that is most important. However, their Europa League matches are on Paramount+, so I need that is well. Similarly, their League/FA Cup games are on ESPN+ so I need that too. Finally, many league games are also on USA/NBC, so I need a service like YouTube TV too. Gets very expensive.

I would add to the Peacock column: WWE (and the historical inventory) and Olympics (especially live events)

But like anything else, it's all personal preference. Peacock is great for some but not all.

Looks like many of the $19.99 and $1.99/month deals are done. I have two kids in college who can probably get the $19.99 deal, but I try to discourage them from taking on recurring charges that escalate dramatically in price.

If someone finds a working promo code for $19 (non-student/non-first responder), please post it here.

Surprised they allow this to happen…
It's a common means of marketing. If an introductory offer isn't free very few people are willing to consider it. When people can cancel a much larger percentage will check it out, and though some will avail themselves of the option to cancel, many more will keep the service. Inertia is a marketer's dream.

Seriously? I appreciate the offer but I'm pissed that I give FIOS 275 a month and have to sign up for something else to watch this game. Does it really help media rights revenue long term if more people ditch cable? I don't mind paying extra to get BTN but this is nonsense for a B1G game.

thx - I'm going to try YouTubeTV this weekend. I rely on pause/rewind/ff a lot to watch stuff to deal with interruptions. I'm hoping that works well.
