Watched this for 5 minutes and man Fox is just leagues ahead on coverage. Big investment with Curt Menefee and Joel Klatt, running the 4k cameras, and idk, all around quality coverage. Something about this ESPn coverage sucks

It’s better than ESPN+’s FCS broadcasts.

It's funny you bring that up because it felt like with fox I was watching an NFL or Big Ten game but with this I feel like I'm watching an FCS game. Maybe I shouldn't expect any more than that but I was just really impressed that Fox treated it like a real league and ESPn didn't want to spend the money on it

This is nothing like ESPN+ FCS games. The ESPN2 FCS games aren’t even this good of quality, and it’s the same broadcast booth. 

EPSN isn’t good coverage but it’s not that bad.

I was just trying to make some kind of comparison, I watch some D2 ball and it's not as bad as that so I just picked somewhere in between the two.
