Something to monitor for those of you with YouTube TV and only sign up for Peacock for Illini games. Not sure if everything has been clarified just yet, but would be great to know the details by the time of IL's first Peacock game Nov 7.

www.sportsmediawatch.com

YouTube TV will include Peacock sports content, but not NFL

Peacock-exclusive sporting events will soon be available on YouTube TV, with the noted exception of the streamer's exclusive NFL game.

Doing a bit of research... The plan seems to be:
- You will be able to buy the new Peacock channel via the YouTube Primetime Channels feature. (Cost TBD)
- This is a new channel, not a rebroadcast of an existing Peacock Channel.
- If there are multiple sporting events going on simultaneously, they may have a second channel (TBD).
- You watch the channel(s) within YouTube TV.
- If there are 3+ sports events going on simultaneously ... cross your fingers.

We need that Iowa game flexed to the afternoon and we almost completely avoid morning games.

But just what if he ain’t lying? It seems like they’re so excited about him… it’s just hard to keep it down sometimes.

If Keaton's capable of living up to the hype we're seeing about him, in my opinion, we'll have a better chance of seeing it materialize on the court if Keaton could get out there without any pressure from his coach to live up to being "in that class" with one-and-dones.

Good question...but should make good bulletin board fodder for BU and staff....maybe a little extra motivation for players and team

Lack of depth … Shelstad injury …

I’m not as high on Oregon as everyone else …

I would’ve had them in the 7-9 range …

I think Washington and USC are too low … Indiana, Ohio State, Iowa, Oregon too high …

Shelstad right-handed shooter, could effect him a while even after he is able to just return a la KJ

Bingo … When he comes back, he’s got to find his role and groove with the team …

And I really question their depth … Relying on Sean Stewart is certainly something I wouldn’t recommend … Outside of Shelstad and Simpkins, their guard play is below average at best …

Washington's roster is sneaky very strong! Lot of intriguing players to watch. I think Sprinkle pulls it together, and learned from shelling out that much $ for Osobor
