ZipsBurgh Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 This may have been discussed elsewhere, but does anyone know if the Big East has their own streaming service we’ll have to subscribe to? Or will the games still be on ESPN+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Last season, I believe Big East Mens Soccer matches were on FloSports (FloFC). I have not seen information yet for 2023. Edited August 4, 2023 by Zip_ME87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fknbuflobo Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 ‘‘Twas a pleasure to see both WSOC and MSOC teams @ Infocision for the kickoff event. Can hardly believe the season is already upon us. Special shout-out to CB from Morgantown. Hang in there; the future is bright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip_ME87 Posted August 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Many thanks to Akron's Men's and Women's Soccer teams for the kickoff event last evening.

TennZip Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 The Big East must have some incredible defensive backs in the league...if Joel Sangwa is not on their pre season first team. Joel Sangwa is very , very good. So solid....Very glad that Joel Sangwa plays for the zips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen information yet for 2023. Looking at the schedule all conference games and home out of conference games have FloSports listed. Just looked and FloSports is a ridiculous $29.99/month. If anyone has any way to get a discount on that let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips88 Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 The FloSports realization really sucks. Not adding yet another (WAY over-priced) streaming service. Turning clock back to Gametracker, ZN and X to follow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let them know about Akron's addition to the Big East, and the unfortunate tie to FloSports that comes with that. I added that their services are 3x the price of ESPN+ and an unjustifiable expense addition to the budget. Hopefully more people do so and something changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloSports responding to my request to lower their pricing by saying they are looking to offer a reduced price package at sometime in the future. No time line was given. It was a one line reply.

No time line was given. It was a one line reply. I think they copy and pasted for us. Here was our convo... FloSports: Hello (name). Thanks for contacting FloSports Customer Support with your inquiry regarding pricing. I understand the pricing is different. We offer different things than ESPN+. I'm sorry about that. The subscription costs are the same across the board no matter what sport you choose because you still have access to all of the other sports. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Me: Hi (name), With all due respect, you don't offer different things than ESPN+. I subscribed to ESPN+ to watch Akron sports. I got all of Akron's sports, plus pro sports plus other collegiate sports for $10 a month. I'd be subscribing to FloSports to watch Akron soccer - there's no difference except 3x the price. The Akron fan base in general isn't going to pay $30 a month for FloSports. You're losing out on an entire fan base by overcharging for your services. FloSports: Hey (name), Thanks for your feedback, we hope to offer a cheaper option in the near future. --------------------------------------------- There are absolute morons in high level positions that put people like this person in tough spots having to spew scripted rhetoric that makes them and the company look incompetent. I can't imagine having a second-rate streaming service that is literally broken down into category of sport (FloHoops, FloFootball, etc.) and not offering a more à la carte system, let alone charging $30 a month when the average mainstream service is $7-15. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
