I just had a bad experience with ESPN. Tried to set up an account and got all the way to put my credit card in only to be rejected and had to make a call. The reason for the rejection was the drop down in their system (Disney, HULU, and ESPN) shows the wrong city for my zip code. Therefore the city that pops up (DOVER NJ) is not the correct city for my Card, thus a rejection. So I called them and explained that the drop down in their system does not have my city and has the incorrect one. I even volunteered to fix the table. All I got was I needed to call my credit card company. I even explained that I tried with another credit card (my wifes) and the same problem. All they had to do was go online check for zip codes for my city and the city that is in the drop down and they would see their system is wrong. I left my name and phone for a call back if they follow up and fix it .......maybe.
Any way just advice for anyone do not wait till the last minute to sign up for ESPN. Mine might be a unique problem but you never know.

If you are a Xfinity subscriber, you may soon be able to access the ESPN app through your cable account.
Xfinity has reportedly reached a carriage agreement with Disney for its various channels. That deal is to include access to the ESPN app as other cable carriers have. It may not be available for Monday's game but media reports are that it will happen soon.
Likewise, the belief is that YouTube TV will have the same access once they and Disney reach an agreement on a carriage deal.

Just to follow up their system still is wrong for zip codes for credit cards but I signed in via Paypal instead of using my credit card today and it appears that I am good to go. Turned on the TV and added the apps I needed and saw ESPN+ and SHU on the schedule. So all is good I think.
On my "basic" package (ESPN 1, 2, U ; FS 1, 2; CBSSN) I've gone from getting all Hall game 2 years ago to eleven of thirty-one this season. Realize it is a sign of the times and the current set-up is more lucrative for the Hall, but adding extra for-pay options is not appealing [to me] following a 1-19 BE season with a rotating cast of unknown characters.
Like it or not, it’s a streaming world in 2025. Especially for sports programming and the people looking to make money off of it. In the case of the Big East, they have to be especially creative since they are making so little without football.
Once upon a time 11 televised games would have been three years worth.
It's really only since the BE split that all of our games have been televised.
Agree that 11 of 31 would have looked good in the mid 1980s. Would be surprised if one or another channel was not airing most of our games for the last 30 years. I do get an earlier poster's point, though, about "the Benjamins" and state-of-the-art streaming. Just think it is too bad as interest, perfomance, and life in NIL is moving as it is.
There are pluses and minuses…. For instance, I can watch the soccer game later this afternoon. Streaming has also gotten more expensive, yet especially considering the amount of offerings you get, is still cheaper than what an ever-expensive cable subscription was worth.
In terms of viewing the game, it's annoying but not a dealbreaker. (And agree with those that say we're fortunate we have the ability to view every game these days.)
More concerning, however, is the extent to which this reduces exposure and therefore threatens long-term fan support and interest (both for the Pirates, specifically, and the sport, more generally). Sure, us diehards will seek out the game. But will the casual fan? Or the one who in the past would watch the game for a few minutes here and there while flipping through channels?

Cable was still more expensive, and you get more options from streaming. But if you’re looking for something cheap, read a book.
Not many people flip through the channels anymore, which would have seemed inconceivable as recently as a dozen years ago. And it’s not like it’s going to trend backward.
