I imagine with Pluto and the Big Sky already announcing upgrades to Pluto for the year that this is about as far as that will go, at least this year. I don't think we'll have a chance to ask him ourselves unfortunately.
Seems to me that whatever broadcast service the Big Sky has chosen, the quality of the stream comes down to the weak link being who is producing the stream for the host team - we have seen a range of a couple cams with and very poor band-with to SWX for many of the bobcat games. Anyway, the issue to me seem to be the Big Sky setting some minimum standards that will assure some level of quality and consistency.

For sure, and I've been saying that for years. Getting the best bandwidth in the world doesn't matter if the host school doesn't put any effort into the production. There has to be some sort of standard here.

Yo, @Common Cat. Looking forward to hearing your behind the scenes report. I can only assume you got blackout drunk with @Colter_Nuanez and Bruce Barnum and are still healing up.

I was watching a Bobcat basketball game on Pluto last season that never ended, at least never ended on Pluto. The video hung up near the end of the game and then kept replaying the same 10-15 second play over and over. I just gave up and went on Twitter to find out the final score. Really frustrating.

I walked into the Lobby and Choate and Hauck were squaring off with a gentleman’s arm wrestling dual. Barnum was smoking a stogie taking bets and Hawkins was crying in the corner. That was the first night...
