The team that does espn+ is basically treated like a startup (or at least was).

There were real issues with the tech, the ux, etc because of how much got thrown onto it and what it was supposed to be/do. It was a bit of a mess. I can say that with certainty.

ESPN, the traditional tv side, is basically a totally different company.

There is a reason why Iger is bullish on sports but lukewarm on espn. ESPN bragging about spending $100M on a new sports center studio a decade or so or whatever was a massive indication of how wrong they had the future pegged.

I think espn+ has like 5M subs. If they offered a full mirror of content for $25 that cable has, I still think they’d be losing. I’ve read that it would basically have to be $50 or something.

Bottom line, imo, espn isn’t a bank anymore. Iger knows this. I think there is a reckoning coming. There is def a non zero chance Apple or Amazon or another company is running stuff for cfb in the not too distant future.
