False advertising from DEI Judy.
Lsu has it listed as secn+\espn+
Re: 2025 Football Schedule
That means it will only be on Sec+ unless you have a provider. Been there, done that many times. The only exception is if ABC is carrying the game
FWIW the SEC wants to sell their product somewhere that costs more than $10.99 per month

Can't put a price on that weeknight exposure.
I guess we need to root for some baseball playoff sweeps to open up ESPN2 slots.

Give me your take on what that exposure does for Tech. Here's mine...
We cut one commercial (usually lame) every year to be used in these games. Sometimes we run the lame commercials from the prior year.
Viewers see the stands with a couple of thousand people in attendance which is horribly embarrassing.
ESPNU and CBSS don't catch many more viewers than an ESPN+ game. Everything is considered "streamed" now. Viewers typically have money on the game and since 2020 we have not covered the spread IF we are ever a favorite. Being a consistent underdog is not a compliment.
Finally, the "national exposure" thing has been throw around for all the years our attendance has either gone down or remained stagnant. National exposure is a bureaucratic buzz phrase.
NOTHING positive is happening with Tech athletics at the time. We are closer to a laughing stock than a respected program. Our leadership, going back to D.R. and McClelland can be blamed for that. No improvements have been made from the President down to the athletic director.

I think that if you took all of our national exposure due to this media deal and buck to McDonalds, you could get a cup of coffee.

I totally agree.

Not even a small if you add tax- Jun 2025 price- Premium Roast Coffee Small which is there old standard 1000 degree coffee is now a $1.00+ tax.
FML, we aren't even worth McDonalds coffee.... and besides being somewhat funny and a whole lot sad here, I agree that the "exposure" we get from the conference deal isn't worth being exposed.
