Why is

our streaming quality so shitty?

Seriously, for $75 a year, you'd think they could hire an 8th grader from Computer Camp who could get the damn thing to work, and get the audio at a level where you don't have to press your ear to the speaker to hear, thereby being unable to see the video.

Come on MAAAAAAAAN!

Excellent question. Does anybody in the athletic department care to take a stab at it.

Horse crap that we have to pay for such a shitty feed when pretty much every other school we have played is giving the feed away for free. It just oozes greed. Wouldn't it be easier to get more interest in the team by giving away the feed and supplementing it with advertising? Probably make more money in ads than subscriptions.

And the really shitty part is that UM ain't seeing a nickle of that money. That's lining the fat cat's pockets of the guys at Learfield. You know, the organization that fired Mick.

It's clearly obvious that most conferences are promoting their schools and all their athletic programs with their own networks where ALL teams are equally represented.

It's most obvious to me in the Pac 12 network, the BTN (Big 10), the WCC, and even the WAC.

That kind of move will require the Big Sky to move away from Learfield and Root Sports in order to develop its own network.

Never mind. Fat chance.

Does the U of Montana have a creative media/film/tv production (whatever you call it) major?

The reason NAU's tv production quality is generally good is that it uses students majoring in this field to produce and broadcast athletic events. They're learning hands on. They're also doing it as part of a class and, I'm guessing the university doesn't have to pay students to do this.

They went through the $225 paid by consumers at the first booze and hooker party.....need an influx of new paying customers....

The sad thing is, "Yes." UM has a media arts program - where they pretty much do all that. It doesn't look like they even try to tap that potential.
