Lol! Ranked vs Ranked on Peacock only
- Thread starter NDblitz

This thread was inevitable. Every year the Peacock complaints come in.
Rightfully so. I would imagine ND will slowly lose fans, the more they put the games on a streaming service, and it's not about money.
Much ado about nothing in my opinion. The cost is minimal. In the future I'm pretty sure all sports will only be available on some sort of NFL ticket type format. I know plenty of ND fans who would happily pay extra to ensure they could see every game.
Rightfully so how ? The fans aren't " entitled" to have every game telecast provided to them in a way that is most convenient. It's available if you choose to watch it. It's not like it's not available at all.
Cmon people its $6. Peacock had a special a couple months ago for $20 a year. Knowing ND/Louisville game only on peacock along with a few NFL games, numerous Big 10 BB games and full coverage of the olympics I decided to splurge, LOL
You have a choice, you don't want to pay $6 then don't watch it. Some of you act like it costs $100. Yet they will go to a bar and drink a few at $5-6 a beer. Tightasses, and don't give me its the principle of the thing.
True enough...small price to pay...UNLESS you live in Canada where Peacock is a bird
They won’t. The younger fans are indoctrinated with streaming services and social media, so they don’t fret this. Some older ones are might leave, but my I know my circle won’t.
Lol! You’re driving g the clown car. I have peacock. It’s the point that two ranked teams are on streaming only.
The decision to air the game on Peacock was made long before the season started.
Living in Canada its a problem as Peacock is not available here. Thus the need to scan my Android IPTV box for a feed. I believe ND website will also stream it though.
The only clown is your dumbass. It has been scheduled on Peacock before the season even started. Try and keep up, I know its hard
Right. And NBC should have known it was going to be a good matchup. Maybe last weeks dumpster fire could have been on there instead.
One game a year against a MAC team was one thing, but putting an actual good matchup exclusively on Peacock I'm not a fan of. And I have Peacock.
But I'd rather see Notre Dame - Louisville get more eyeballs nationally, and it won't get as many this way.
They're doing it to try to get more people signing up for Peacock, obviously. But it'll hurt viewership numbers for this game.
Which is a sacrifice that they will happily make to get more eyes on/potential subscriptions to Peacock.
But I don't like it as an ND fan. If I was the AD, I'd complain to NBC about this. It reduces viewership of one of our better home games this year.
ND plays 4 competitive teams this year (Louisville is 1 of them) the fact that you can only watch this on a niche subscription product is something fans should be justifiably disappointed in.
You'd complain to the network that's paying you ~50 million dollars a year that 1 of your home games is being broadcast on a streaming service. Do I have that right?
A contract by the way that I have zero doubts has Peacock exclusivity for some games written into it. This is not something Notre Dame is surprised at, they signed the deal. And they signed it happily.
Exactly. ND fans are accustomed to this for 30 years, like going from getting laid weekly to nada. Change is inevitable but hard. Now if this was Northwestern, they’d be ecstatic they could go stream their game somewhere but it’s a change for ND fans, especially when two MAC teams were nationally televised. But if NBC wants to successfully promote Peacock, they wouldn’t put those clunkers on there.
There's always been one game a year on Peacock, since 2021 when it started. But it was always a game with a MAC team until this year. Perhaps that changed when they signed the new contract that bumped up the money to $50 million/year. If that's the case, then you're right - it's a tradeoff ND's making for the bigger contract. That would explain it.
Exactly. Navy suddenly looks pretty good. As does UVA. And this Jeckyll and Hyde football team can stink vs anyone.
Its actually more like 3.5 competitive games now that Florida State has tumbled all the way down to #40
It's just the cost of doing business in this landscape, and I'd hardly call that a "cost" when we're talking about this kind of money to air your football games. This is not something that's bothering ND in any way whatsoever; it's bothering the fans. And in the big scheme of things it's likely not even that huge a # of people considering how many of them will understand why NBC would make a game exclusive on Peacock.
Last year an NFL PLAYOFF GAME was exclusive on Peacock. If they can do it with that, I think it's pretty safe to say they can do the same with Notre Dame vs Louisville.
The funny thing about it is that the people who complain about it the loudest, those are the people that will inevitably subscribe to Peacock to watch the games because they just can't live without it. So I don't even know why they complain to begin with.
I'm just thinking in terms of maximizing TV exposure for the program. Being on national TV's better than not. For example, for recruiting - you want potential recruits around the country seeing your team on TV.
But I'd forgotten they had an NFL playoff game exclusively on Peacock last year. I guess they're doing that with bigger games now in both college and pro.
I mean…it’s Notre Dame man. In this era of exposure, they’re not losing much, if anything having 1 game a year on Peacock.
You want to talk about exposure and its impact on your program? Don’t freaking lose to Northern Illinois then.
Like I've said about 5x now. I have Peacock. Been subscribing to it for over a year. Never complained until I saw one of the only ranked vs ranked games on streaming only.

So if Louisville had 1 loss right now you'd think nothing of it?
And I know it kills people here to see this, but you’re 1 person on a message board. Your complaints don’t mean much of anything.
If I'm not mistaken Michigan St v. Ohio St. is exclusively on Peacock and so is Michigan vs. Washington the following week.
According to what I'm seeing, MSU-OSU (7:30) and Nebraska-Purdue (12 PM) are exclusively Peacock this week (along with ND-Louisville at 3:30), but Michigan-Washington isn't the following week. The 3 games this week are likely due to NBC televising the Presidents Cup all day Saturday. So they chose this week as their big Peacock-only week because of that.
