I barely have time to watch the sports I do watch. I feel like ESPN+ will be a very niche product.

If they offer a free trial I’ll sign up just to watch the Bob Knight 30 for 30

Looks like they went with wildcat’s theory: underprice ($4.99/mo or $49.99/yr) to hook you, but price may go up as content is added.
As I said on another message board, I honestly think this is just glorified beta testing for them before they eventually roll out the granddaddy of them all ESPN+ service that gives you access to live streams of all the ESPN networks. That type of service is inevitable, it's only a matter of when and not if, nothing better than rolling out a stripped down service for a few bucks a month to test every aspect of the product so they can roll out the end game product as smoothly as possible.

I agree, and I would be totally in favor of it. Let me pay for just what I want to watch (sports), and I’ll cancel everything else.
