    The best way to fix this is to do one of the following
    1) Go to the espn website and click the contact link at the bottom. http://espn.go.com/espn/contact
    2) Email ESPN directly at [email protected]
    3) Email the president of ESPN [email protected]
    4) Call them at 1-888-549-ESPN and select option 3. It only takes a few minutes

    If you live in North Dakota, contact your senator

    http://www.hoeven.senate.gov/public/...il-the-senator (John Hoeven)

    Apparently the attorney general of North Dakota is investigating because they are calling the gameplan pricing a "bait and switch."
    Good work on getting Bodenheimer's email address... I just dropped him a line.

It doesn't make sense to me that they are telling customers to call their provider and demand ESPN3, then not letting them carry it.
    Why won't they let them carry it?

    I know that on our tv we watched the JMU game. It was listed as being on ESPNU. We have the complete football package.

    I will be in Paulson on saturday so I am not really interested. Hopefully, the fans of all teams will be afforded the opportunity to watch their team.

    At least put them on Gameplan for Crying out loud! They have the TV crews there anyway. I just don't understand the logic.

    My point exactly. They won't give them a reason.

    Because their reason is pure extortion to get people to ***** to their cable companies for not having ESPN3.

    No kidding... what a grade A douche... He is a NDSU grad, lives in Fargo, yet decides to put his efforts towards NDSU Jr. up North? WTF?


    I always thought that maybe, just maybe, Al did the whole nickname fiasco so that he would screw UND over athletically at the D1 level... But now his true colors show and now I know this is false. His allegiance is not at NDSU.
