Watch all the games on ncaa.com/march-madness free!

text "0BYU" (that's zero the number) to 2654 you'll be texted a free access code to watch all the tournament games!



**EDIT** the number is 2653. My bad!

What are you signing up with to get this? Who's the provider?

sorry, I guess I didn't give much information there. It has late, haha.



The promotion is for ncaa.com/march-madness, the same thing that's usually $4. It's Coke Zero that's doing it. It's how I watched the game last night.

Usually CBS provides free feeds to all tournament games. Has that changed this year?



By the way - Thursday's game is on CBS - you can get it with an antenna - free!

Will I be able to get it on my computer at work?

CBS is charging $4 this year for access to every game online. Not a bad price at all.

:blush:

Definitely a win / win. Though of course, we've been spoiled with free. I would love to see something like this for the olympics.

yes. once you get the code, you can watch on any computer and they have apps for android and iphone

OK. Stupid question. Never having texted to a "number" before, when I enter 2654 my phone automatically changes it to 265-4 and I get an "invalid number" response. So what am I doing wrong?

I'm pretty sure I've texted to a "number" before. Mine also got converted to 265-4. I didn't get any response at all.

I think you might have to be on a specific carrier like Verizon or Sprint for this to work. The number was uncrecognized for me too.

I have Verizon, and I actually had to send it to 2653 and it worked (I tried 2654 yesterday and it didn't work).



So try sending it to 2653.

Agreed, it is 2653



I went to CBSsports.com on my PC and it was playing the Colorado St. Game live without any login or anything.

Not sure what that was about but I got the code anyways so there are no problems when I hook the projector up and take a late long lunch today in my work conference room.

It worked. Thanks to all for the guidance.

whoops! the number is 2653. sorry guys! I added the edit to my initial post



looks like you can watch games for free on cbssports.com as well. Will they have all the games? Why would ncaa.com think they can charge when another site has the exact same thing for free?

I sent it to 2654 early this morning before any of the updates on this thread, didn't get anything back. Just read 2653 so I sent it to that one and got message back that they are out of codes. :~(

Can anyone else get on cbssports? I just get "Loading..."

I just checked and it is working. CSU is in a low scoring game and down 13.

I go the Loading message on CBS Sports using Chrome. Firefox worked fine though.
