I'm getting my ESPN U as I type.

[MechanicalBull]

Directv all the way!  With the sports pack you get espnu, cstv, all the other regional sports networks (FSNs from other parts of the country).  Just dont bother w/ the ESPN college game plan.  Being in Tampa w/ Lincoln financial sports on channel 38 and 44 we get all but maybe 1 to 2 games without the extra $120 a year.  ( I just dropped it this year).

Be sure to get an extra reciever to bring to tailgates as well!  well worth the extra $5 a month

If I just have regular Directv service; do I get ESPNU?  If not, what do I have to do to get this game so I can TIVO it while I'm out Saturday?

I have the NFL Ticket so I think they should throw in the college game plan as well as much as that sucker costs!

ESPNU is standard with the Primier package or can be pruchased as an option with the Sports Pak.  here's the link:

Just in time for Tomorrow's game.

Comcast does not carry ESPN U, classic, CSTV and many other sports channels.  Pretty Lame!

Direct TV has a very nice sport line-up

How is brighthouse?

I'm in the same boat here.

If someone can please explain to me why Comcast doesn't carry ESPN-U, that would be great.

Mid-Atlantic-Bull the reason why Comcast does not carry ESPN-U is because there may still be bad blood between Comcast and Disney from 2004 when Comcast tried to purchase Disney. I am in the same boat as you Mid-Atlantic, stuck with Comcast with no ESPN-U. I would get DIRECT-TV but I can not pick up the HD signals . So I will travel to New York to watch the game with some fellow Bulls.

i have brighthouse and ESPN U is standard with the digital cable package.  also, you can add CSTV and a few other regional sports channels for like 4.95 a month extra i think.

but who wants CSTV?  all they show is c-usa

Bunch of corporate babies.  :

What a bunch of fruitcakes!

I've got a group here that will be kickin' it @ Buffalo Wild, sporting our green & gold and whooping it up as the Bulls hammer the Owls.

No, not unless they changed things...it's a separate add-on...  Check channel 609 to be sure...(I think that is the U)

Brighthouse sucks... good channel lineup (including catch 47) bad picture quality, and infuriatingly bad customer service.  

Direc TV treated me very, very nice.  I never once lost picture, no matter the weather.

I did have to ditch DirecTV for FIOS (Verizon fiber optic).  If you have the chance for FIOS by the way, it is hands down the best.  We can simulatenously TIVO two HDTV channels, watch and on-demand movie and have 2 CPU's running World of Warcraft and I still don't even come close to using my full bandwidth.  All with the slowest internet access speed available.      

Twilly,

Brighthouse has the following:

ESPN (HD), ESPN2 (HD), ESPN Classic, ESPN News, ESPN U, CSTV, FSN's, VS, Catch47, BHN HD 1&2, SUN ... Plenty of sports to watch....

Only thing crappy is News, Classic, U, Catch47, SUN, FSN's are standard Def. That's not to say that sometimes a program is on HD yet braodcasted in standard def....
