ESPNU Suck

It all started with the NFL network, playing games on their specific channel and making people shell out more cash to watch their new channel. Now ESPN is following suit and putting important games on their new ESPNU channel. The only people it hurts is the fans. ESPN is forcing people to upgrade their packages to watch their local team. They shouldn’t put up with it. It is the fans that support the teams. They buy the tickets, the hotdogs, the shirts, hats, and bumper stickers. They are the ones camping out at night before a big game.

Somewhere there has been a disconnect from the people that run the sport and the fans that pay for it. By blacking out an entire state that does not have the channel is wrong. Now that UConn has garnered some buzz and playing a huge game at home against Notre Dame, they decide to black out the game. This is a huge blunder and should never have happened. Like in the uproar with the NFL network, local networks broadcasted the team and weren’t blacked out. ESPN should do the same.

Its up to the fans to show their disgust. Contact ESPN and state your complaint. Here's the link.
