It's not AT&T's fault. They're one of several providers that have dropped beIN in the past week, including Comcast. I think Sling TV still has it, for those who really need it.

Reading the comments on Bein's own page....it looks like a lot of people are pissed at them instead of the carriers. I'm not a big soccer fan but they seem to be the ones with the biggest gripe.

As for CUSA, what does this say about our TV deal that we have a deal with a channel that no one wants?

What the hell is Bein going to do if no major carriers show their channel?

It sucks for us.  They misrepresented themselves!

The problem that the lower G5s have, and even the Upper G5s, too, is that the major networks will only televise your games on odd days and often at odd times. Hence the reason we see MAC games with junior high attendance during the week, while none of their games are played on Saturdays in their conference season. The SBC has had similar issues, as well.

Now, we in CUSA, are about to have to bite this same bullet. Either go ESPN/CBS and get their weakest setup for a game to be televised on a mid-week night, starting at 8:00. 

The MWC have basically decided to try and put traditional game day schedules ahead of TV because of this stuff. Of course, their banking on their fans to make up the difference by actually attending games versus watching them on TV.

If stuff like this cannot convince these conferences to regionalize, then nothing will. The key for the lower G5, especially, is to control costs and make the in-game experience the way to go. Close travel, with teams people care about, all help this situation. The Texas CUSA schools don't need to be in a conference with the F_Us or ODU and Charlotte. Texas State doesn't need to be in a conference with Appalachian State and Georgia Southern. Get this figured out and you'll go a long way into fixing the issues that happen when FAU hosted us in the CUSA Championship Game in front of hundreds of fans, instead of the tens of thousands that other conference championships get.

Anyone know any update on this? Are they still negotiating?

Two more weeks then we're supposed to be on Bein when we play @ Utep

 

 

It's not getting fixed anytime soon. I'll probably do the free trial of Fubo TV and stream it but I know there's more than one game on BEin for us. 

Edit- there's three....including La Tech.....damn.

As the manager of a sports bar, i really hope ATT gets their Sh*t together and gets BEIN back on board real quick.  If for nothing else, it will impact my soccer watching crowd.

What's the bar, and where is it? I'm assuming you theme it as a UNT bar as much as you can.

So we can't watch it on Directv, UVerse or Comcast.

What are our options? I guess have to find somewhere that can show it? What sports bars don't have Directv?

Man....this sucks.

It appears that Spectrum still carries it.  As a result, Spectrum customers can stream it through beIN Sports’ website as well.

Go there every game if you're not finding a watch party.

Sling TV or fuboTV. Both have bein (add the sports pack with Sling). fubo has a 7 day free trial. Sling does as well, but I don't know if you can add the sports pack to that.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
