Disney-owned ESPN offers games played by schools who participate in the three conferences, with some games also available through the broadcast network ABC. ESPN and other Disney-owned channels have been unavailable to millions of DirecTV residential and business customers since September 1, when a contract between the two companies expired without a new agreement in place.
