That was a problem before, but Twitch has become a bit more lenient these days. I think 2 or 3 live streams during week 1 were on Twitch.
Twitch is not the only solution, USTREAM and Livestream are other options. PNW FIRST uses USTREAM because it is a generally a solid platform, I don't know if we have tried using Twitch, but I don't think we will need to switch in the near future.
Livestream is cool with the whole rewind thing (though we already do near instant uploads), but there are a few drawbacks, specifically you need the actual site open, so GameDay becomes useless.
