ESPN created ESPNU to focus on college sports specifically and it has the rights to the most popular college football and basketball leagues in America.
It launched ESPNU because they were being sued for having so many college sports rights but not showing the games.
Some notable rights that it currently has include the Big 12, the Big Ten, the Ivy League, the Pac 12, and the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
They show these games under live sports program names like ESPNU College Baseball and ESPNU College Hockey.
High school games are even on the channel as well as runoff NHL and Formula 1 telecasts.
