Don't count on it, but I do recall that the new commish outlined she would be looking into upgrading accessibility of all types when she took over for foolerton. If root believed it could successfully "dollarize$" provision, can't believe they wouldn't do it. They'll get it going @ some point, Haslam & Stiit and the remainder of the coaches would be thrilled to have it for the exposure to their programs alone. So you know every AD/coach in every conference wants it ASAP.
ESPN3 by me is nothing short of spectacular. Living in IL, I get to see most of the MVC games & replays on-demand. Sorry to hear it sucks over there. May be one of the reasons Root is also moving slow - service being bad and limited doesn't give the conference any leverage in threatening to take business elsewhere.
Won't happen. The primary reason Root carries BSC football is to make it more likely that the small cable companies in Montana and Idaho carry their channel, so that more homes have access to their primary money maker: The Mariners. Streaming those games would nullify the entire reason they carry our games.

Never had an issue with it. Always streams pretty good for me but they don't have a lot of Griz games.
In my area of Texas I can't access any Root streaming. The days the Griz play on Root I can only read about it the next day.

Root doesn't stream video, doesn't matter where you live. If you have Directv or Dish you can buy the sports package for between 10 & 20 bucks a month and get the games. Also, with Directv the Audience channel was carrying the Root broadcasts for free I think. (Although I live in Root NW area, so it may be blacked out other area's)
Root games are available wherever you live, unless that happens to be Mars.
They won't stream their games. Either buy the sports package or find a half way reputable sports bar and you can watch the Griz in sparkling HD.

I misspoke. I never had the capability to stream Root. I won't buy Direct TV or any other cable service for a yearly subscribtion. I don't watch TV. I will gladly pay for a pay per view stream from any source when there is a Griz game.

See my post above. It isn't about revenue to Root. It would be inconsequential. They're not carrying BSC games because of the revenue they bring in. They broadcast the BSC games because they want smaller cable companies in remote areas to continue to carry their station. Streaming the games, even for a fee, would defeat the entire reason they are carrying the games.
