Damn….was hoping it was a move to the SEC now. What a letdown.

Does this mean I won’t get my annual PPV game this fall?

Means the PPV will only be the monthly ESPN+ payment.

I'm not giving up half my wealth for a college team that is doing fine already. Besides, those funds are earmarked for when my wife decides shake me down in divorce court.

Joe C retiring?

Yeah, probably not. Had to rethink it.

I'm sure some people will bitch about that.

It'll be better than SoonerSports stuff was. I did notice in buying it for a month on the spring game that payments end for Sooner Sports Network stuff in June.

Well, I was trying my little contribution outta the spotlight, but thanks to SoonerHank the cat is outta the bag now.

That will be an OU/Texas dual announcement and maybe the Big 12/SEC put out press releases first.

I have that announcement penciled in 1.5 years after we join the SEC. He'll oversee the transition, and then be heavily involved in picking his successor starting in the fall two years after we're in the SEC.

Hard to believe, but he turns 65 this year. This seems like a logical scenario.

[Cjtaylor1388]

His successor will be Thad the man.

[Lout]

Brent is leaving to be the DC for shithead in cali.

He's been the AD for about 25 years now. He'll be close to 30 if it's a couple years after the SEC move.

This would be awesome news for anyone that lives outside of the area. The Shitshow service they use now is so antiquated.

doesn't this have something to do with that new NIL deal that has been mentioned???

This news has nothing to do with the NIL

The NIL deal will use the TBA proprietary OU crypto. There will be a fan contest to name the crypto, winner gets a tidy sum in said crypto. I nominate: "SoonerCoin". At least, this is not entirely impossible.

And they damn sure should be.

We'll see. They used Fox Sports/Bally Sports graphics and sometimes announcers for those games so long. They will definitely change to ESPN graphics. They did change to using in house pbp guys like Plank last few years. I doubt the PPV game really makes as much as it used to.

I’ve wondered that myself

ESPN+ and Oklahoma have agreed to the most expansive media-rights deal for an individual athletic program on the streaming service. ESPN+ will carry more than 100 live Oklahoma events, including one football game each season, some men’s and women’s basketball, studio shows and archived content. ESPN+ for the first time will create a landing page that directs viewers to “SoonerVision on ESPN+.” SoonerVision is Oklahoma’s in-house production arm. The new multiyear agreement will launch in August, in time for the start of fall events, and will carry live OU home events that are not picked up by linear channels. This content previously ran as part of Sooner Sports TV on Bally Sports Oklahoma and Bally Sports Southwest.

Financial terms were not released, but Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione told SBJ that “it would be worth more than what we’ve had previously.” The Sooners will join the SEC, which has all of its media rights with ESPN, no later than '25. “This deal is about access and reach,” Castiglione added. “I’m just happy that we’re going to be able to continue to offer more than 1,000 hours annually of live content.”

More content than any other school on ESPN+ and more money than we were getting before, so all in all, a nice deal.

I never knew why anyone would wanna view paper.

Yes, I'm technically challenged. How does one go about getting ESPN+? PPV was a pain in the ass, but pretty simple. I'm assuming this ESPN+ requires a monthly subscription? Can you get it via youtube TV, satellite (DISH, DirectTV) or do you have to have a computer to watch it? If you purchase it can you use it anywhere you happen to be?

There is an app for it and separate subscription so it’ll be like watching YouTubeTV, Netflix or Amazon Prime on your TV,. Either directly using an app on your TV, or via a Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire stick box.

So we have the firestick deal, but there's all sorts of sports channels it doesn't have/allow (like LHN), and blacks out every Cardinals (and other teams) baseball games on MLB. In short, it sucks.

That should not be the case with ESPN+.

Currently ESPN+ is $5.99ish. I have mine basically free. My wife likes Hulu content and kids want the Disney+ and you can bundle all 3 for the same price as Hulu and Disney ($15.99/month or so).

Search ESPN+ on your firestick and install that. Then set up your subscription to ESPN+. After you do that, any time you open the ESPN+ app on your firestick you should be able to watch whatever they have available. You can also get the app on your phone.

Sweet. Six dollar PPV. I'm in
