Um ESPNU IS a national channel.
We're missing the OBVIOUS CHOICE HERE: BOTH
DirecTV is supposed to be "sports leader", there should be no choice necessary.
yet it's not available on a lot of provider's basic tier. What I meant was ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Ocho Cinco, etc get's first dibs. ESPNU gets the scraps. If the game is that coveted, it would be on the first few ESPN alternates before it will be on ESPNU.
Whether you like Hockey or CFB better and strictly from a sports perspective, the "quality" of games on Versus is much better.
I don't know about other providers but it is on D*'s basic package (I'm ignoring the Family package).
But I agree with Jason, it should be both. But if I had to choose just one it would be ESPNU since I like college sports better than hockey but I know not everybody feels the same so we need both.

PQ yes, but it has already gone HD for many cable subs.
I am talking about the quality of the games.
Like the SEC or not, you have to admit, most would rather watch an SEC game than west montana tech vs north kansas womens college. Which is why I say the quality will go up.
Only problem with this theory is, the BIG SEC games will be on CBS as always, not espnu.

IF ESPNU comes on board, it better get the HD stuff going quick, the camera's and positioning they been using for the past several years is really bad, like top of the stadium and that's about it .... hope they have improved things since then.
CBS didn't have any football games yesterday, just tennis.
No doubt about that, for most weeks.
However, my point still is valid I think. Most would rather watch a decent team from a good conference play than what they usually show. Take saturday for example.
They had the auburn game followed by miss. state. Much better than what they usually show.
But CBS is the home of the SEC

From what I have seen on cable, ESPNU HD is on par with ESPN and ESPN2.
