ESPN's new '30 for 30' on Bob Knight won't be on television

The much anticipated "30 for 30" movie called "The Last Days of Knight," about the video of a confrontation between then-IU coach Bob Knight and player Neil Reed, won't be available on television.

ESPN will share the documentary exclusively through a new on-demand service called ESPN+. The entire award-winning "30 for 30" series will be archived there as well.

"It will offer fans thousands of additional live events, on-demand content and original programming not available on ESPN’s linear TV or digital networks," according to a news release.

“The launch of ESPN+ gives us an exciting new opportunity to bring an even greater offering of high-quality content like this to sports fans,” said Connor Schell, Executive Vice President, Content, ESPN, in the release. “With its debut, ‘The Last Days of Knight’ also joins the incredible library of 30 for 30 films, which will now all be available to viewers to watch anytime on any device they choose.”

Fans can subscribe to ESPN+ for $4.99 a month or $49.99 per year, with the option to cancel at any point. But, they're still a little sour that Knight's documentary won't be on traditional television.
