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.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things. Asterisk indicates newcomer: Z - JR Landon Sides RS FR Kyle Koch RS FR Mason Ferguson *FR Tyler Smith Y - SO Miles Coleman X - *SR Cameron Dorner RS FR Baron Tipton H - SO Wyatt Young JR Dalton Carnes LT - *RS SR Jimto Obidegwu RS SO Keon Johnson RS FR Christian Pettway FR Jordan Reasonover LG - SO Braydon Nelson RS FR Paul Gurrola C - RS SR Gabe Blair RS FR Amarion Berry RG - RS JR Johnny Dickson RS SO Julio Madero RS FR Matthew Reed RT - RS SR Larry Moore RS SO Desmond Magiya RS SO Isaac Sohn *FR Roberto Rodriguez TE - SO Brandon Young *SR Tre Williams RS SR Xzavior Kautai *RS SO Connor Vaughn RS FR Victor Aderungboye QB - *SR Reese Poffenbarger RS FR Drew Mestemaker RS FR Cash McCollum *FR Chris Jimerson RB - SR Damashja Harris *JR Jayden Becks RS SO Makenzie McGill SO Kiefer Sibley JR Zach Evans RS FR Ashton Gray *FR Caleb Hawkins Defense DE - SR Breylon Charles *RS SO Demetrie Morgan *RS FR Josh Pierce NT - *JR Quincy Wright SO Jayden Williams SR VJ Bronson DT - *RS SR Richard Outland RS SR Fehi Vailea RS FR Jaedon Langley JACK - *SR Briceon Hayes RS FR Zhaiylen Scott *RS FR Will Smith *FR Brayden Knox SLB - RS JR Ethan Wesloski RS SR Chavez Brown *RS SO S’maje Burrell MLB - *SR Trey Fields RS SO JJ Jean-Louis WLB - SR Shane Whitter SO Kabriel Anderson-Dale FS - *SR DJ Warnell Jr JR BJ Allen RS FR Chris Gant SS - JR Evan Jackson SO Quinton Hammonds RS FR Jaydon Smith RS SR Isheem Young NB - *RS SR Da’Veawn Armstead RS SO Taylor Starling RCB - *RS SR David Fisher RS SO Kollin Lewis RS FR Gabe Stroud LCB - RS SO Brian Nelson JR X’Avion Brice K - RS SO Kali Nguma JR Blake Ford RS FR Miguel Arenas P - SR Sawyer Evans SR Seth Ford

      Chris Jimmerson

      So similar to Jimerson's recruitment in that nobody really wanted to give either a scholarship at QB. Thanks for the insight. Colorado just signed ESPN's #2 overall prospect in Julian Lewis at QB. If Lewis works out, how does it benefit either party for Jimerson to go sit on the bench behind a top QB prospect? They also signed one of Jimerson's teammates so clearly they aren't high on Jimerson as it is.
