THE AGREEMENT WILL MAKE DIRECTV'S "ROOT SPORTS" REGIONALLY-BRANDED NETWORK THE LEAGUE'S OFFICIAL TV PARTNER, AND WILL BROADCAST 18 BIG SKY CONFERENCE FOOTBALL GAMES EACH SEASON, INCLUDING MONTANA AND MONTANA STATE'S ANNUAL BRAWL OF THE WILD.

AND WHILE THAT MEANS SOME GAMES WILL BE OFF LOCAL BROADCASTS AS IN PAST YEARS, DIRECTV AND BIG SKY OFFICIALS SAY THIS DEAL WILL ONLY INCREASE THE OVERALL EXPOSURE FOR THE CONFERENCE.
