So B1G+ isn’t allowing volleyball only subscriptions anymore? So if we want to renew, does anyone know what other options we have? I’m a little confused by the email I received. I don’t want to spend $120 for all content if I have other options. No way. Is this true. I got an email and saw someone else post about it on Facebook.

I just checked and they are allowing single sport subscriptions for the following: Baseball, Lacrosse, Softball, Tennis. Those are the current in-season sports. My guess (no inside knowledge) is Volleyball will show up once it is in-season.

Although, not allowing VB only anymore wouldn't surprise me. The Conference has been giving the middle finger to fans for some time now.

I don’t want to spend $120 for all content if I have other options. I would hope the monthly option is still available? I've done that some years, other times when an annual pass sale happened I got that, but I get all sports / all schools, for watching B1G volleyball, mostly MN and WI, but also women's hockey and once in a while I will check out men's volleyball.

I think I will wait until Volleyball Media Days. Last season they ran a special so I'll see what is available then.

Last May, someone on Volleytalk provided us a heads up "BIG+ annual subscription, all schools, all sports for $80".
My BIG+ enrollment was dated 5/27/23.
Hopefully, a discount is again offered.

I got an email and saw someone else post about it on Facebook. This is the email I got. It looks like they upgraded me until my next billing cycle, which for me is in January. I just took off the automatic renewal for now; we'll see what they come up with before January. Dear B1G+ Subscriber,
We are reaching out today to inform you about an upcoming change to your B1G+ subscription. Effective April 18, 2024, your current B1G+ Sport Pass will no longer be available for purchase or renewal. As a result of this change and inconvenience, we will be upgrading your subscription to an Annual Conference Pass ($119.95 value). With an Annual Conference Pass, you will now have access to over 2,000 non-televised events across the Big Ten Conference, including all teams and sports for the same price as your current Sport Pass subscription until your next billing cycle.
To manage your account – including to cancel your subscription – click here.
We’re always here to help. For any questions, please visit our Help Center.
If you have already cancelled or suspended auto-renew, please ignore this message.
We’re working hard to elevate your streaming experience and are excited to provide you with more non-televised live events, next day on-demand full and condensed game replays, and Big Ten Network classics and originals from the Big Ten Conference. There’s no plus like home.
The B1G+ Team[/i]

I took the “informed” question to mean what kind of media coverage do they provide during the season. Several of the high profile BIG schools have things like weekly coach and player press conferences, podcast appearances, a local reporter assigned to the team, etc. Other top ten schools seem to have almost no coverage. None of the west coast schools do that stuff, at least nowhere near the degree of some of the Big 10 schools.

The email says that the current sport pass will not be available for renewal They just keep making things progressively worse with every decision. Thanks for the info. They did this with gymnastics a few years ago, too. Have had to purchase way more than I needed in order to just watch one sport. So annoying!

My guess (no inside knowledge) is Volleyball will show up once it is in-season. I got an email from B1G saying that it (my single-sport-VB) was no longer available, and that “As a result of this change and inconvenience, we will be upgrading your subscription to an Annual Conference Pass ($119.95 value)” for the duration of my current subscription (last renewal was in January). My guess (also no inside knowledge) is that it’s going away, and I’ll need to decide whether I want just-MN and lose the other B1G school VB matches, whether I suck it up and pay for all the sports I don’t care about in order to get all the VB, or whether I tell B1G+ to suck an egg.
