For any Miami fans with YouTubeTV, this one is for you. Miami is facing SMU as we speak, but for some fans, they either have to find the same stream somewhere else, go to a sports bar or Buffalo Wild Wings, or simply miss the game because two big companies couldn't come to an agreement.
YouTubeTV and Disney are currently in a dispute over a new deal that has resulted in customers of the streaming services losing any Disney programming, including ESPN and ABC. For Miami fans, that means they are unable to watch the game against SMU, which is on ESPN.
It is unknown when a deal will get done, but it won't matter now since fans are already missing the game, and they have taken to social media to air out their grievances.
Miami fans are outraged that they can't watch the game on YouTubeTV

I pay for YouTube TV and ESPN+ yet somehow I can’t get the Miami vs SMU game on either.

Simple question… what the actual fuck is this bullshit??????@ESPNPlus @YouTubeTV @POTUS pic.twitter.com/FQRHWHApRV
It really doesn't seem fair, as the customers are the ones getting hurt here. These big companies really won't lose much because of this, but the customers and fans of sports are now the real losers here.
I AM MISSING MY UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI GAME BECAUSE OF YOU

Say it louder for the people in the back; some exclamation points could have helped really emphasize what the all caps couldn't.
Before I cast my vote in the City of Miami election I need to know what each candidate is going to do to bring back ESPN on YoutubeTV.

The winner will be the one who was able to get this deal done the soonest. This seems pretty fair as college football runs just about everything in this world.
Hey @YouTubeTV @Disney I’m bootlegging the Miami SMU game. Go fuck yourselves.

A football fan has to do what a football fan has to do.
Y’all are both greedy as shit—don’t act like you give two fucks about the end user; all about your bottom line.

Miami / SMU kicks off in two hours. If you don’t get this shit solved by 11am CT, off to @Hulu and dumping @YouTubeTV for good.
Both companies can be seen as at fault there. This is not the first time something like this has happened. Disney and DirecTV had the same thing happen about a year ago when the two could come to a deal. Both sides did end up coming to some sort of agreement, so at least there can be some hope there for college football fans.
Truly hate that I can’t hate watch this Miami’s game. @YouTubeTV.

It is a travesty that this game can't be viewed by some, as Miami and SMU are really putting on a great game right now.
@YouTubeTV I took off work November 1st , to stay home and watch Miami/Smu game on ESPN and Texas/Vandy game on ABC….Failed Move.

Hopefully you can get your day off back because unfortunately neither game will be on YouTubeTV this weekend.
