Interesting TV Viewing Solution

[get'em_griz]

Utah State is having three of its games (two of which are against Idaho State and UC Davis) aired on Facebook. While I think the Pluto TV deal is a great step up, I think airing games on Facebook is an interesting approach and a good idea.

I wonder if the Big Sky has looked into this. Seems like everyone has access to Facebook. Of course, I assume Facebook live games would be those games that are not being aired by ROOT Sports.

If you like UC Davis and Idaho State football, then you're really going to "like" one of their early season games.

The two Big Sky programs are part of a deal that Facebook has with digital sports broadcaster Stadium to stream 15 college football games exclusively on the social media platform. They won't air anywhere else online.

New UC Davis coach Dan Hawkins' first game against San Diego State will air Saturday, while Idaho State's matchup at Utah State will air Thursday.
