The MAC and Pac-12 college football conference championship games are currently taking place, and DirecTV Now users are apparently missing out on the action.
Many DirecTV Now users reported that their service was down during the Buffalo-Northern Illinois (shown on ESPN2) and Washington-Utah (shown on Fox) football games on Friday night.
Here are some of the tweets from DirecTV Now users about the outage:

Good job @directvnow I guess like everyone else I didn't want to watch the #Pac12Championship maybe that's why they won't do a deal with you guys

This has been a fairly frequent issue with the streaming service, as many users made clear on Twitter. And it’s been an issue during big college football games in the past, like during the last season’s College Football Playoff.
