I did this yesterday 3/13 and it still works. So instead of paying $3.99 to watch the tournament on my phone, it's free. (Well almost. If you don't get free texts, then you'll have to send them 1 text and they will send you back 2 texts. So that's 3 texts total) "Starting today through March 10 (or while supplies last), fans can text “0” plus their favorite NCAA Division I basketball team to “2653” to score one of thousands of free NCAA March Madness Live access packages and the chance to watch all the Tournament action across multiple digital and mobile platforms. In addition, fans can register at www.enjoymoremadness.com for the chance to win a trip for two to the 2012 NCAA Men’s Final Four in New Orleans.

I did this five minutes ago, and it still works.
I have to fly cross country at noon eastern on Sunday. I may be stuck trying to watch games on my iPad on the plane.

Does this result in getting annoying texts from Coke?

I took advantage of this as well. It works, and haven't yet received any spam texts.

Does this result in getting annoying texts from Coke? When you sign up, just click the box that says "Boeheim" and you won't be bothered with anything other than basketball. |

You can watch games for free through each channel's website. Meaning go to TNT.com and you can watch for free. No mobile though

One thing as a heads up is that when a game goes to commercial, you cant switch to another. That's pretty smart on NCAA/CBS's part, for obvious reasons. So, be careful, because if you quickly want to switch back and forth you could be in a situation where you switch to a game in a commercial and then you are stuck.

Kudos to the quality of video on the iPhone app. Definitely helped me get through training today.
Hope I didn't miss anything too interesting/critical in class.

Ahh...I see. The app is free but then they charge you after you have downloaded it already. Clever.
