Ehh don't really use it anymore, so it's whatever. I did back when I was in HS though. Just go to my coaches room, use his computers (since he 'taught' some comp class) & we'd watch in there as a team & call it a "Team Meeting" lol.

NEW YORK -- Some fans will no longer be able to watch every NCAA men's basketball tournament game online for free.
Turner, CBS and the NCAA announced Thursday a new model for streaming March Madness. Games aired on CBS will still be free through the network's website. Most, but not all, viewers who get TBS, TNT and truTV on their cable or satellite systems will also be able to watch games aired on those channels for free online.
Fans will also have the option of paying $3.99 to see all games on multiple platforms - online, mobile and tablet. The app will be available on Android phones for the first time.
About 77 million households will be able to watch the Turner channels for free online.

Sooo sounds like they might charge for some? Most still sounds like it will be free..

$3.99 isnt like a whole bunch of money.

Yeah, But free is no money whatsoever.

When you're unemployed it is!

Yeah, But free is no money whatsoever.

True to that!

But since I still live with my parents, we have Dish Network, so we get all those channels. So I believe I'll be able to get this for free still online. I dont know about the iPhone though. Probably best I'm not watching the games on my iPhone while hanging out with friends though...
