E5PN.COM PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ESPNU Following are thoughts from various college sports coaches and administrators (whose teams have been featured on ESPNU) about the network: Steve Spurrier - Head Football Coach, University of South Carolina "We have not done anything to earn the spotlight. Hopefully, our play will earn more nationally televised games. They've given us a little head start. We had a lot of good response because of our spring game on television. It was an honor for us to welcome our almost-40,000 fans to Wiliams-Brice Stadium on ESPNU." Dave Pietramala - Head Men's Lacrosse Coach, Johns Hopkins University: "The sport of lacrosse in general and the Johns Hopkins University men's lacrosse program in particular received another boost with the launch of ESPNU. We have received tremendous feedback from our fans and alumni about our presence on the network. ESPN's commitment to lacrosse is a significant step in the continued growth of the sport." Kim Mulkev-Robertson - Head Women's Basketball Coach, Baylor University: "It is great that ESPN has expanded its programming by adding the ESPNU network. Now the nation will be able to see more women's college basketball games than ever before. Ail of us in women's basketball appreciate what ESPN continues to do to help us promote the sport." Jon A. Steinbrecher - Commissioner, Ohio Valley Conference: "Our membership was very proud to showcase the O'Reilly Ohio Valley Conference Basketball Tournament as the premier telecast on ESPNU. We are very pleased that we were able to get in on the ground floor of what will undoubtedly become another successful channel from ESPN." AHssa Smith - Assistant Softball Coach, Bethune Cookman College: "ESPNU provided coverage of our softball team that we usually would not receive. It was exciting to have that fascinating exposure. I think ESPNU is great, especially for smaller schools who would like to receive that type of exposure." ESPNU ESPNU has secured distribution agreements with DIRECTV, Adelphia, Mediacom, several smaller affiliates and is close to distribution agreements with others. The 24-hour television network is the key component of the multi-media ESPNU initiative that will deliver college sports content across ESPN's family of services, such as ESPN.com, ESPN The Magazine, ESPN Mobile, ESPN Radio, ESPN Interactive, ESPN360, merchandising and more.
