A week after AT&T’s decision to drop ESPN 3D from its U-Verse programming package, the programmer rebounded with plans to double its 3D coverage of college football games this season. ESPN 3D will show 20 regular-season college football games plus five post-season bowl games and the Allstate BCS National Championship, it said. Coverage begins Sept. 1 with UNLV vs. Wisconsin, followed by Miami at Maryland Sept. 5, Arizona at Oklahoma State Sept. 8, BYU at Texas Sept. 10, LSU at Mississippi State Sept. 15, NC State at Cincinnati Sept. 22, and South Florida at Pittsburgh Sept. 29. California at Oregon Oct. 6, USC at California Oct. 13, UCLA at Arizona Oct. 20, Virginia at Miami Oct. 27, Northern Illinois at Toledo Nov. 1, USC at Colorado Nov. 4, North Carolina at Virginia Tech Nov. 17 and West Virginia at South Florida Dec. 1. Four games are to be determined later, and additional games will be announced during the season, ESPN said. The network will continue to handle 3D coverage with one truck, an ESPN spokeswoman told us. She said there are no plans “at this time” for National Football League or post-season Major League Baseball coverage in 3D. Sony is a sponsor of the 3D college football games.
