Completely agree. I'm certainly not complaining.

Reality is it is broadcasting games not picked up by other broadcasters

Yeah, but the conference has no qualms about just throwing it on the thew.tv

So you really think root sports opted to show whatever crap they're showing
al3124
2/11/16 5:28pm
Yeah, because "whatever crap they're showing" doesn't cost them anything. But...

My point is that root sports was apparently making a different calculation

2/11/16 5:43pm
Not to mention, I think they're showing some kind of wrestling or ufc event
al3124
2/11/16 5:44pm
But probably a cost being shared by a bunch of different channels.
COACHdrn
2/11/16 5:52pm
Gotcha. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Maybe because BYU isn't very good?
COACHdrn

I realize that. It just seems like this year, they weren't doing any
al3124

Maybe ESPN is just not picking up as many optional games. WCC is down this year

I think you're right. Didn't even show BYU vs SMC last week, which was strange.
COACHdrn

They don"t start the year with conference play

I understand that as well. I'm talking about the first several conference road

The alternative if ESPN doesn't pick it up is Root.TV/W.tv
