Despite all the BCS BS, we still love college football -- especially when it's in HD. We've grown to expect more and more HD every season, and with ESPN and ESPN2 presenting all their games in HD these days, we should've seen this coming. As of next August, ESPN U is going HD and will become the forth ESPN HD network (ESPNews is the thrid). In addition to the biggest college sport being presented in HD; basketball, lacrosse, baseball, softball, volleyball, wrestling, and hockey will also get the HD treatment with a total of 200 HD events on schedule in the first year.
And everyone but Time Warner will carry the channel. DirecTV and Dish will get it first.
Yes I'm still bitter about my ex-cable company :)
Comcast won't carry it either...we don't even get it in SD.
Not sure about other markets, but we definitely have ESPN U here on Time Warner in Austin.
But I doubt you will see it in HD for quite a while after it goes live.
Finally, a reason for my in-laws to go HD. . . HD Marching Bands.
Sweet! I can't wait to watch College Scoreboard in HD all day long!

By the time ESPNU HD actually launches, SDV will be deployed in many more markets (and who knows what else they might have up their sleeve by then) and it might actually be available for college football season
"Fourth" is spelled wrong (you have it spelled "forth")
I don't know about you guys but I have Comcast and I have ESPN U.
Why isn't ESPNU available in Bristol, Connecticut?
What's so BS about the BCS standings? >:> Go Buckeyes! :p
ESPN sucks. they broadcast in 720p what a bunch of cheap bastards
