This is excellent news! Now I won't be missing college football. Great stuff!

Great news and bonus kudos to VM for saying BT Sport is included in TVXL at no extra cost rather than saying it's free as they sometimes do.

Excellent news, good work and thanks VM. What are all you doubters thinking now? Patience paid off.

But do we know how much coverage of College Football there will be?

Woohoo. I've cancelled my VM cancellation and cancelled the Sky install! I'm staying put!

Also, there are some very attractive young ladies who are very easy on the eyes playing on the tennis (a sport I can happily watch, when in the right mood) scene currently ;-)
Not really bothered about the football, but add the rugby and I can now watch and I have a half decent amount of sport I can happily watch, all free of charge.

Well done to all involved with the deal:-)

At last somebody with some taste on here. Couldn't give a toss about the Premiership - over paid wasters, playing for cities they have no connection with and supported by mugs that have no connection with the clubs either. Its these deals that perpetuate the waste of money. Oh for the 1970's and 80's muddy pitches and people kicking the hell out of each other and getting -mod edit- afterwards - that was entertainment.

If they can get some Test Match cricket that would be perfect. They've got plenty of hours to fill. Even better live netball - anything could happen...

It's the French rugby I'm most happy about. Awesome stuffm - starts tomorrow!!. That and the MLB...with the Giants playing tonight and Red Sox v Yankees, this is the best news I've had in ages.

Yes Cricket is always a good excuse for a snooze, it's the only game you can have a whole nights sleep and unfortunately it's still not over when you wake up

I am still here, and l for one am totally happy and didn't think it would happen - l have several pink elephtants in my garden.

I am delighted and l apologise to VM for all the aggro l gave them - now where is Atlantic - only joking.

We don't know as yet, however this was a reply BT Sport sent to someone on the NFLUK forum who asked that question:

Thank you for contacting us.

The new ESPN channel will continue the same level of great coverage as ESPN America with regards to college football. ESPN within the BT portfolio of channels will be free for all customers who have BT Broadband.
I hope this has helped.

Best Wishes

BT Sport Content.

I guess we'll just wait and see.
