Is ESPN Classic About to Become ESPN3?

The word I just got from a source at ESPN is that ... ESPN has big plans for expanding ESPN Classic into potentially an ESPN3, with the English Premier League as one of the station's marquee draws. That whole scenario may wind up being wishful thinking but what is clear is the ESPN is interested in the EPL rights.


The words above are by ESPN Soccernet columnist Ives Galarcep

I am all for it! There is a lot of sports being played that is not played in the United States such as the above English Premier League! It is growing in popularity in the US!

What about the UEFA Champions League? I know ESPN airs some games from the league, however, if they made ESPN3 chances are it would be moved over!

What about Rugby? Austalian Rules Football? Arena Football? Euro Basketball? What if they try and get the rights to the NHL?

Tell me what you think!
