EDIT: Sports Business Journal has Versus at 27-29 cents per sub, higher than what I put in the original entry.
Versus has indeed disappeared from DirecTV due to an ongoing contract dispute. Not sure what each side is expecting to pay or receive from the other (Versus gets around 27 to 29 cents per subscriber) but at this moment, there is no effect to those of us following college football or fans of two other major Versus properties, the IRL (next race September 19th) and the NHL (season starts in October).
Versus's college football schedule starts on 9/12 with a mix of Big 12, Ivy League, MWC and PAC-10 games.

Do you know if all the games will be in HD this year? It seems like it's been a mixed bag over the past few years.
ReplyDeleteI'm under the impression that all games, or at least all games except the Ivy League games, will be in HD.
ReplyDeletePreviously, only the PAC-10 games were televised in HD.
