They do have it. I watched the Tech game there on the U.

I'll bet you regret that. I'm lucky I didn't end up having to pay room damage fees at the Hyatt Place in Columbus OH. I really felt like taking their nice big screen flat panel and dropping it out the window after that one.

Sure wish Mediacom picked up the WatchESPN app. That might make them not so unbearable to have as a provider.

Also, I worked at that BWW for a couple months, and yes they do have it (in case you couldnt tell by the rest of the posters) The GM said they spend well over 2,000 a month just on their TV situation.I am pretty sure you could watch rugby or cricket if you requested it.

^^^Well they should be paying a lot for their TV, it's not like anyone is going there for the food quality.

One nice thing that DirectTV has with ESPNU that I believe Dish or Mediacom don't, is that they have it in HD. I can see Mediacom shortcutting the HD for ESPNU, but I still can't believe Dish only offers it in SD.

FYI, Mediacom has ESPNU in HD on 828. Standard is 178.

It was July 1 or August 1 of 2012 that Mediacom added a lot more HD Channels of those some of the Sports channels they added in HD were: ESPNU, ESPN News, CBS Sports Net, Golf Channel, Fox Soccer, Fuel, and some others to go along with the HD Sports Channels they already had.

About the only channels on Mediacom that ISU currrently plays on that isn't in HD is Connections 22 (which is said to be coming as well as Cyclones TV should be in HD) and some of the Football games on Fox College Sports. The FCS channels aren't in HD but hopefully that is coming. And when I say FCS I don't mean regular Fox Sports. Fox Sports is in HD and also the Fox Sports Alt channel is in HD
