a.) seems like a hassleI had access to all games. For $10/month (maybe $15?) more on Dish. Then I would drop the package down to regular after the last NU game.
So for the cost of one PPV game I could upgrade my package for 4 months. I also had to upgrade for games when we were in the Big 12 to get the games on the western ski channel or whatever channels those games were on. I also straight up couldn't get PPV games if I wasn't at home or in Nebraska. Out of state bars don't tend to carry Husker PPV games unless you are in a big city.
b.) you don't watch basketball?
