ESPN U and college football?

Question

I live outside the U.S. and a group of us are trying to watch college football on PPV. Some games are on ESPN U. What is ESPN U and how is it different from ESPN GamePlan? If we get a ESPN GamePlan PPV, is there any chance of seeing an ESPN U game? Thanks much!

Answer 1

You should get ESPNU games when you have GamePlan.

And to the moron above me, it's funny, but it seems ESPNU is showing three live college football games today:
Montana at Iowa
Florida Atlantic at Clemson
Virginia at Pittsburgh

But then again, I guess Dish Network is just lying to me...

Answer 2

ESPN U is a sub channel of ESPN. The "U" stands for "University." ESPN U never shows live telecasts of games anyways so it doesnt matter whether you have it or not. ESPN U always shows college games after they are played (for all sports, soccer, football, baseball, etc.).

ESPN Gameplan is a subscription channel that ESPN provides that shows multiple college football games at one time. When you get Gameplan, around 8 or 9 Gameplan channels are added to your service and each channel shows a different college football game.

Hope this helps.
