ESPN has capitalized on the national brand of the Miami Hurricanes many times in the company’s history. After having several highly rated football games on their airwaves, ESPN then brought their 30 for 30 documentary series to the party. The U and The U: part 2 are among the most highly rated and critically acclaimed films ever produced in the documentary series. Both directed by UM alum and filmmaker Billy Corben, they’re essential viewing for all CFB fans.
Both The U and The U: Part 2 debuted in the premier TV slot following the Heisman Trophy ceremony.
