How to watch Utah Ute sports after the move to the Big 12

I believe most of the football and basketball games will be on ESPN or Fox, with an occasional game on ESPN+.

Our TV options have worsened. We will find a bunch of our games on streaming, ESPN+

The BigXII is a step down, let’s face it.

Quite a few of our olympic sports will be on ESPN+, but as of now, only one football game is scheduled for +, SUU….That likely expands to another game at most, hopefully, but most of our football games will NOT air on + from what I’ve gleaned.

To get pac12 on Comcast you needed the sports and entertainment package so you might be able to drop that and save $10 and pay for Disney +, Hulu and ESPN +

I got the Disney/Hulu/ESPN+ and more this week. It’s not expensive and as it turns out I get a lot of other unexpected options.

The SUU game is on ESPN+. The USU and Baylor games are being picked up by the networks. I suspect every conference game will be on Fox, ESPN, ABC, or at the very least something like FSN or CBSN.

The Big 12 is a basketball powerhouse, so I suspect most games will be easy to get. Obviously, the Olympic sports are a different story.

I get ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ with my Verizon cellphone account at no added cost. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

The Disney Bundle is well worth the money. I probably stream more from Hulu and Disney than I do from Netflix, Paramount and Peac**k combined. So even without ESPN+ it’s worth it and and an absolute necessity while Utah fans wade through the muck and mud of the Big 12.

With the demise of the PAC12, I ditched Comcast/Xfinity for both cable and internet and went all-in with Google. I now have Google Fiber (love it) and YouTube TV and save $100 per month from Xfinity. No stupid boxes to pay rent for. Xfinity was a must have for the Pac12, but not any more.

I still need to add ESPN+, but plan to.

I already had the family package for YouTube Music and YouTube Premium that works well on all my Google home devices. So I can manage all my Google services and payments in my Google account dashboard.

I use Roku for our TVs and Chromecast works perfectly with our TVs when needed.

I prefer the traditional menu of Xfinity over YouTube TV, but I really don’t channel surf any more at all and just watch recorded programs. YouTube TV has unlimited DVR. YouTube TV also seems to travel much better in hotels than Xfinity did. I use a travel router and Roku for travel.

Good luck in your journey.

Our experiences with the P12 network seem to have varied significantly. I live in SEC country and trying to find the P12n was like looking under rocks. None of the major providers carried it. No sports bars or restaurants showed the games. The streaming options my family preferred did not offer the P12n.

I am not trying to say it was impossible for me to find P12n, but it was difficult enough that I ended up watching the big games taken by other networks and watched highlights after the fact for games only available on P12n.

So put me in the camp of expecting B12 broadcasting availability to be an improvement. I have little doubt that the family of any recruit or player living outside of the western U.S. will have an easier time finding the games than during our P12n days.

Finding the Pac-12 Network was always easy, it’s just that many fans didn’t understand how to use the “new” technology. If it wasn’t on their cable guide they threw up their hands and called it impossible. Today, even my inlaws, in their 80’s, know how to use streaming services and so they see an ESPN+ channel button on their streaming service and click on it. The big loss of the PTN will be the quality of the broadcast and the selection available to the viewer. Are Big 12 schools going to produce coverage of gymnastics or baseball? We’ll see.

I just dropped Xfinity/comcast and switched to the HULU + Live TV, Disney Plus and ESPN +. It’s like $79.99/month and then another $9.99 if you want more than two users at a time. I went from $162 a month to $89.

I’ll drop Comcast when there’s a fiber hookup available at my house. They’ve run the conduit down my street so it’s getting close. I’m looking forward to making that phone call.

According to the contract, ESPN gets 12 of the top 20 picks from the Big 12 schedule. There are 72 conference games and 48 non-conference games. FOX has the rights to 8 top 20 picks and 18 other games. Do the math, most games are going to be on ESPN+.

The only football games that will ever be on “Big 12 on ESPN+” will be crappy non-con or MAYBE really crappy conference games. Everything else you’ll be able to watch on ESPN, Fox, CBS, or one of their affiliates like ESPN2, Fox Sports, yada yada yada. I’ve enjoyed the Disney/Hulu/ESPN package because, like someone said, you can watch pretty much all of the non football/men’s basketball sports on it.
