Each streaming service has their downside. I've had a lot so here's what I've learned.
SlingTV - owned by Dish Network, you get a TON of channels depending on the package you buy and all are a fairly decent deal - I never paid over $79.99 before taxes for mine. There are three different options: Blue, Orange or Both. One is more sports oriented and there is also a sports add-on for an extra fee which gives you ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Longhorn, PAC 12, NBC Sports and a bunch of soccer channels. There's also a feature on there called Watch Party that allows you to watch the same game or show with your friends in different areas.
Channels missing: CBS Sports Network and local formerly FOX affiliates (Root, Bally, etc)
Downside - the interface sucks and surfing is a P.I.T.A. Also felt the streaming quality was never up to par - it would randomly kick me out and it wasn't my internet issue. I even had issues on Sling when I was using Google Fiber.
Hulu Live - Haven't had this for a number of years, but from what I remember the biggest benefit of Hulu was their massive movie and TV library and the bundle with Disney and ESPN+. I wasn't a huge fan of their interface either, but you got every channel you need except for one, which won't matter here in about 9 months. The value you got from the bundle was worth a little extra in price.
Channels missing: PAC 12 Network
YouTube TV - My brother has this and swears by it, and they launched a feature that allows you to watch 4 games at the same time. Any sports nut should probably go with this option if you're a multitasker. This subscription also gives you an ad-free YouTube app and YouTube music, I believe. Not sure on the price or what add-ons there are, but I imagine it's similar to the rest. Some of this info may be different now, as I'm not sure how the outcome of the Bally Sports thing ended up.
Channels missing: PAC 12 Network and local formerly FOX affiliates (Root, Bally, etc)
FuboTV - I haven't tried this but apparently it's the best one for sports. The only reason I've never done is because I think it's too expensive even before add-on channels.

While we're on this subject I actually made the switch back to cable. Comcast now has a "streaming" version of their cable platform that doesn't require a cable box and which is essentially the same thing as a Sling, Hulu or YouTube. I get all the sports channels I need on the west coast (PAC 12 Network and Root Sports - Mariners and Kraken) and I get the local TV stations. I made the switch back because they were offering a ridiculously low price of $40/month if I was already paying for internet. Grand total for TV plus internet is under $100/month for me.
As with your brother, I have YouTube and I think the yearly cost is about $840 or $70 per mo. It includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNNews, CBSSN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, FS1, FS2, BTN and I think SEC Network. Apart from sports, YouTube includes mucho other channels including 3 PBS channels. I also pay about $80 per year for BritBox. I also pay about $8 per month for Netflix which I rarely watch.
When I cut the cord a few years ago, I went with Sling at the recommendation of my daughter. But it seemed like every time a cloud passed, the signal was lost. That same daughter tired of those interruptions and tried YouTube for 30 days. She dropped Sling, went with YouTube and recommended that I do likewise which I did and am glad.
