OT: ESPN Plus

We have it free through a Verizon wireless package, but that ends on October 17.
I use ESPN plus to watch college football games that are only on ESPN plus. Anyone know any other cheap ways to get it? $11.99/month or $119/year is steep when you consider the YouTubeTV and other app subscriptions.

Thinking may just subscribe for 3 months of college football.

Fundraiser - RU Riot Squad to Virginia Tech!

Hello Rutgers University Alumni and Supporters,

I hope this message finds you all well. I am posting here to request financial support for an upcoming trip to support the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Football team as we plan on ruining the “White Effect” on September 21st in Blacksburg, VA.

In the past we have turned to the boards for support to create our core memory of a trip for fourteen students to Indiana University to watch the Scarlet Knights become bowl eligible, as well as the notorious fifty person trip to the 19 point Rutgers comeback in State College.

This trip’s goal is to bring thirty executive board, committee, and general body Riot Squad members to Lane Stadium to give our Scarlet Knights the unparalleled support they deserve as well as build upon the sense of community and pride associated with our great university.

Transportation:
We plan on bringing eight cars full of students to Blacksburg leaving at various times throughout the day on Friday, September 20, due to classes, work, the career fair, etc. Additionally, the “unc” of the Riot Squad, @aleccr12, who is covering the game, will provide transportation by road again (in his mom van that seats seven!).

Accommodation:
We have booked an Airbnb cabin just outside Blacksburg, VA which we will stay on Friday and Saturday night.

Estimated Budget:
Our preliminary budget for the trip is as follows:

Super Bowl Box Fundraiser: $975
Student Trip Fee: $750
Total Raised: $1725

Transportation:
Gas Expenses: $600

Accommodation:
Airbnb for 30 in Blacksburg: $1,960

Miscellaneous/Overhead: $200

Total Estimated Trip Cost: $2,760

Total Requested Funds: $1,035

In return for your generous support, we plan to recognize all donors as sponsors for the trip. This recognition will include acknowledgment and posts on our social media platforms, and gratitude expressed at any related events.

We believe that this trip will be a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the student community and spirit here at Rutgers and provide our students with a memorable and unique experience. We appreciate your consideration of our funding request and look forward to the possibility of making this trip a reality for as many students as possible with your support.

If you are interested in donating, please Venmo @brentisagamer with the subject line “Virginia Tech Donation.” Every donation will get us miles closer to Blacksburg! If you have any ideas or questions on how to make this the best trip possible for us or would like to submit a donation another way, please contact myself at 917-881-6889 or at tsl57@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

Thank you for your time and consideration and Go RU!

Finalized men's basketball schedule dates - is this typically complete by the middle of September?

Like many of you, I am trying to plan some future events, and I can't do anything until the schedule is released. I have two questions:

1. I know we have dates for November and December. Could any additional games be added those months or do we think that Nov/Dec is all set at this time?

2. I would like to plan events in January through March. Shouldn't the schedule be released in the next two weeks? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The combined power of ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery new streaming services will kick off at $42.99 a month. I believe they want you to subscribe for a year to experience all it has to offer. That is equal to over $500 just for one streaming service. People may have issue with trying to pay for multiple streaming services that will cost more than cable at it's worse. I didn't mention paying for Internet service on top of this.

I'm under the impression ESPN is pushing this more than it's partner as a way to generate money since Disney is not in favor of unlimited bankrolling ESPN like in the past. Fubo has filed a lawsuit against the group as it tries to start a similar service in the past, but was shot down by the Big 3. I don't think we'll see the start of the service until this is resolved and the cost will be a problem too. Who wants to almost $50 a month for one streaming service.
