SWSiouxMN Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Best part about this. I can now watch any Summit League sport, from any team, at any time, unless blacked out by CBS Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSSD Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 So, to watch UND sports you will need: NCHC streaming (mens hockey), SLN streaming (mens basketball), CBS sports (basketball/hockey), and Midco Sports Plus or espn+ for football. Is this correct? I feel like we need a chart for this.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 90%+ of your content will be found on NCHC.tv or Midco Sports Plus. That will get you: Hockey NCHC.tv all home games and away non-conference games (except CBS Sports Network games) Football Midco Sports Plus all games except Boise State (FS1) and Northern Iowa (MVFC game of the week on ESPN3) Basketball (M+W) Midco Sports Plus (which runs Summit League Network) all home games and away non-conference games (except CBS Sports Network games) Soccer, Softball, and Volleyball Midco Sports Plus (which runs Summit League Network) all home games and select away non-conference games You are looking at like 4-5 games out of like 100+ games that are not going to be on NCHC.tv or Midco Sports Plus...and those 4-5 games are going to be "nationally" televised (don't know if you could consider a free ESPN3 game as nationally televised). This is really UND's second year like this as their last TV deal with Midco put everything at home (sans Hockey) on Midco Sports Plus already. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Wonder who the CBSSN broadcasters will be? Will they be the same for all games, or different, depending on the venue? Would be nice for CBSSN if they could do a basketball and hockey game with Heinert on the same day id assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewUndFan Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Does this now mean ESPN + will no longer carry any of the games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kab Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 They need to get down to one carrier and one steaming to have all this is crazy one local carrier and a streaming service for those out of the area 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^ - each league’s varying memberships is going to have different needs and far differing ideas what serves each best. Heck institutions as we all know have different ideas of what suffices for broadcast quality. This may help improve that. UND is far better positioned for this than some others. I for one am pleased that they didn’t go with ESPN, the Summit has been and would be lost in the shuffle with a company that is quickly not becoming the World Wide Leader. I believe Midco will provide incredibly usable platform, and they will want to do it well. I will enjoy watching any game I want on Summit League game nights. The CBS Sports Network adds another piece that will give some additional avenues for the league membership to reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some basketball games were a terrible stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
