COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — If you had trouble viewing West Virginia’s 29-24 win at Kansas, Bob Huggins can relate.
“I tried to watch the football game,” Huggins noted earlier this week, indicating his success with the matter left a bit to be desired.
The game was the first to be telecast on ESPN’s online-only Big 12 Now streaming service. West Virginia fans were already grumbling about having to shell out $5 to watch the game. The complaints only intensified after the fact.
For many, the herky-jerky viewing experience became a far bigger talking point than anything that actually happened on the field – provided they actually saw it.
