This is because the Big 12 Conference partnered 12 institutions with ESPN+ to better expose its athletes and sports teams. Now fans can only watch Kansas Jayhawks on this channel or with a service that can live stream it.
If you’re a cord-cutter (someone who wants to cancel a cable package), luckily there are other ways to support your Kansas university teams. But now more than ever, it can feel like watching your favorite sports team is a real competitive game.
TV cable packages are expensive and figuring out which channel or network is playing the game is its own exercise.
