Lady Vols Softball games on tv

[Jr_Vol#]

I listened to most of the games recently played on utsports website which I didn't mind that much. Since games have been played already I searched anyway I could come up with to watch a replay of the game on YouTube or anywhere but no luck. I have the ESPN app and can pull up to almost 20 softball games which our Lady Vols softball team is ranked ahead of all of them even before they were moved up to #6 and not a single game of theirs was available to watch. I understand not all games can be played but it is just plain unacceptable not to be able to pull the game up the next day or even few days later to watch. Not sure who or what controls this so have no clue on how to fix it. Also one more thing then I'll get off my soapbox but when our girls and maybe even boys travel to away games most places have a link that u can watch the game live. It may not be the quality of ESPN but it's better than nothing. I believe its the students of the home field working on video, journalism classes. They usually have an audio link with a live link to watch the game from what I remember. Anyway if there is a way for me to watch game replays from this season please let me know.
Thanks in Advance

Tennessee softball was playing at Coastal Carolina this past weekend and none of those games were carried by ESPN. One game vs Coastal Carolina was carried by the pay network CBS Sportsline. This weeked you can see games played first on ESPNU Lady Vols vs Notre Dame on Friday. Saturday and Sunday games vs Minnesota and James Madison will be carried on the ESPN3. The fourth game vs Utah is not televised so will be radio and gametracker only. The final game vs number one in one poll Florida State will be carried by ESPN2. So four of the five games will be able to be viewed. I think Tennessee used to carry some games that were played at home during the week before SEC network took over. I think now they are no longer available through the university. I don't know for sure if any of those games that we play usually against ETSU, Middle Tennessee, etc will be on ESPN3 or not. There is possibility that they might be some of the games carried by ESPN3+ which shows a lot of games on their monthly pay app. I try to list all the televised games in the Softball post that probably is a little farther down the page right now. The schedule at utsports.com will show which games are at the moment scheduled to be televised for softball, baseball, and any other sport that you may be interested in seeing. Not all the games are on ESPN some are on other networks.

Thanks for the info, I just went through the 2019 Lady Vols Softball Schedule and came up with this. They play 29 out of conference games and only 13 is scheduled for tv which leaves 19 not to be televised. The good part is I guess with 25 in conference games 20 of them are on tv which leaves 5 not on tv for some reason. Not on tv will be 2 big games against Florida and Ole Miss then one against Georgia. I'm hoping that ad season goes on things change so our rivalry games will be televised and such.

The ESPN-SEC network has 4 channels and only one is used 90% of the time. I saw more of UT softball before the SEC channel was created than I do now. I never see tennis, track and field, soccer, volleyball, rowing, and often I am not able to see all basketball games. I realize that the SEC teams get a lot of money from the SEC network, but they have not fulfilled their projection to broadcasting the "minor" sports. When games run over it time limits, the "alternative" channel can not be found, even when emails are sent to ESPN. Just other reasons to not trust ESPN.

Sometimes games are added as the season progresses so some of the ones not showing as televised may be picked up but are not scheduled now.

Totally agree saw more softball before the SEC network. I thought the new ESPN plus would probably be a way to see some of those sports but it hasn't happened.

Kinda sorta on topic. But I don't get why ESPN throws so many of the "minor" sports onto SEC Network+. Why do I have several alternate channels that constantly play music and show SEC logos all day ? Why not use those channels to get all these softball and baseball games on. Also the tennis, track, swimming, etc. I don't like streaming stuff, there's always a slow down or "buffering" at some point.

Think it is all about advertising evidently can't get enough sponsors to carry these sports. I thought the new ESPN plus pay channel would be a source for these sports still may be after basketball season. Right now they are carrying a lot of division 2 and smaller conference basketball so that will have to be replaced soon.
