A bit different from Roots focus on MSU and UM.

Root knows where they make money. Eleven ostensibly is an arm of the BSC and thus wants to make things “fair.”

I presume all of the games not on Root, will also be available on Pluto TV as well as Eleven Sports...is that correct? I don't believe Eleven Sports is available on Charter/Spectrum in Montana, is it?

I know Pluto aired Eleven broadcasts last year.

Maybe Eleven was outbid by the local broadcasters for the MSU and UM games? Also, Eleven is valuable to markets that don’t normally have TV options. MSU and UM are almost always on TV.

From the Big Sky release in the first post (emphasis mine):

All ELEVEN SPORTS productions of the Big Sky Conference will also be available on WatchBigSky.com and Pluto TV. ELEVEN SPORTS is available on DIRECTV channel 623, Verizon Fios channel 597 and AT&T U-verse channel 1665. Select Big Sky Conference games can also be found streaming on ELEVEN’s digital channel ELEVEN SPORTS NEXT on Twitch.tv. In addition, ELEVEN can be found on various other cable and OTT providers.

Pretty sure Eleven has second choice of games after Root and before local broadcasters can pick games to air. My guess is there was some kind of push from the Big Sky Conf to include all 13 teams
