As a sign of good faith by the parties involved, the compromise could just be a, "fall" could it not?

Wkn is a stubborn cuse.

So what is best way to view Midlands without having to buy season's pass to Big10+ ?

 

Is there a monthly rate?

69.99 per sport for the year or something crazy like that. @MPhillips would know

Yes that is the annual rate - which I find to be among the best deals in college wrestling over the last several years.  I don't know if they offer a monthly rate, but worth looking into for someone who didn't want the full season

Monthly would be great, kinda how ESPN+  does it.

I've found the best/cheapest way to subscribe for a particular event/tournament is to choose the  "School Pass" option @ $9.95/month and cancel before it auto-renews. Just make sure you choose a school competing in the event you want to watch.

Good call, I didn't realize that. Thanks 

[MPhillips]

If you love to watch wrestling, the $70 a year for BTN+ Wrestling Pass is the way to go. If you're just interested in watching a specific school then I suppose the School Pass makes sense. For example, Ohio State wrestles four times on BTN+, two in January and two in February...

Thanks... does this mean they no longer require a .edu school email account to sign up?

Didn't know that was ever a requirement for a BIG+ subscription.  I've been using the School Pass option with a gmail email address for the Big10 tournament the past two seasons.

Never heard that either. Can't imagine having a subscription cost and then limiting who can buy it?

This was my third Wrestling Pass.

I was kicking around on Excel and trying to think of a solution for the problem of too many subscriptions.  Because of the natural limitations of fewer people that know about or care about wrestling, this solution would not be extremely profitable (and that's not really its design).  It would also need software development in the initial capital outlay to design the interface with each feed, as well as ongoing support (probably absorbing any possible profit). It's designed to help streamline.  But I wonder if customers could essentially get away with paying closer to $50 a month for access to all wrestling channels instead of the current 64.29 that they pay.  Simplification + small savings for the customers.  Each channel in the model below is accepting a lower fee from the platform for subscriptions, provided that it can guarantee 500 new users.  This is completely back of envelope but just something I was thinking about when I had too much coffee

Thanks for putting together this list! I noticed that the Roku channel has Pac 12 Network, not sure if they have any duals on there or not
