Here's the link to the March Madness On Demand player, where you can watch the first three rounds of the Tournament, live for free, on your computer.

There are a couple of disclaimers though. You must have a broadband connection in order to be able to view the games. Also, whatever game is being shown live in your area will not be available to you through MMOD. Unfortunately, that means that if you can see the North Texas/Memphis game on your TV (a very likely occurance in the D/FW area), you can't watch it online (you can still track the scores in real time, however). For Mean Green fans in other states, though, depending on location, it will probably be possible to view the game. Also, the games will be archived and available shortly after the game is over, regardless of market, so DFW fans can still view the game online, it will just be after its conclusion.

Also, if you register before Thursday, you can get "VIP" status, which means you will be moved ahead of the "General Admission" viewers in the queue to have the games streamed to your computer. Anyone who used MMOD last year can attest to the importance of this...sometimes the wait times were 30 minutes or longer. They also have increased the number of people who can view at one time, so the wait times hopefully won't be as long this year...just make sure to log in at least 30 minutes before the game to be able to watch it in it's entirety.

Here are some other questions answered, as displayed on the website:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Q. Does NCAA® March Madness® on Demand cost anything?

A. No. NCAA March Madness on Demand is completely free.

Q. What games are available to be viewed with NCAA March Madness on Demand?

A. Watch up to 56 games* from the first three rounds of the Men's Division I College Basketball championship streamed LIVE to your computer. For Rounds 4 - 6, only game highlights will be available and will be viewable shortly after each game is over.

*local blackout rules will limit availability to 37 games for most people

Q. Why must I sign up?

A. To access live games you must sign up for NCAA March Madness on Demand using your NCAAsports.com Log-in ID or CBS SportsLine.com Log-in ID. You can also use your CBSNews.com, CBS.com, or TheShowBuzz.com Log-In ID if you have one. If you do not have a Log-in ID, you must register for one. Registering is free and easy, just follow the instructions on the sign-up page.

Q. What is the difference between "VIP" and "General Admission" Access?

A. VIP access is available to users who sign-up for NCAA March Madness on Demand by March 15 or while supplies last. Users with VIP access will have a shorter wait through the "Waiting Room" on game day. Their line will move more quickly than those with General Admission access.

Q. What are local blackout rules?

A. NCAA March Madness on Demand includes live, streaming video for the first three rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship games except those subject to CBS Network blackout rules. These rules provide your local CBS owned or affiliated station exclusive rights to present the regional or national game designated for your area. In other words, if your local CBS affiliate television station is airing a game, you will not be able to watch it online with NCAA March Madness on Demand. Local blackout rules will limit availability to 37 games for most people during the 2006 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.

Q. When will archived games be available to watch?

A. Games will be archived and available to watch shortly after that game is over.

Q. What if I do not have broadband connection?

A. Unfortunately, you will not be able to watch live video but you can listen to the games through our live audio feed.

Q. Can I pay extra money to bypass long lines on game day?

A. No. 2007 NCAA March Madness on Demand is offered as a free product. There will be no premium level offered to allow users to pay for access that puts them at the front of the Waiting Room line.

Q. How does our company block access to MMOD?

A. Many businesses and organizations wish to prohibit access to NCAA March Madness on Demand. While we at CBS SportsLine look at the NCAA Men's Basketball championship as an opportunity to celebrate achievement and passion all across the country, we are also sensitive to business owners and network administrators who have concerns over allowing access to this very popular product. In order to prohibit access to MMOD, network administrators should block all http traffic to www.ncaasports.com/mmod/player.

      Sure, there are scenarios where these things are possible. But nobody writing these articles knows anything more about the possibilities than you or I do. Further, even if they did know more, they are not going to write an article laying out the reasons it won't happen, or the reasons some third possibility that doesn't benefit the B12 could happen. They aren't doing unbiased rational analysis. It's like relying solely on MSNBC or Fox for news

      I don't like it. But what he says is obviously true. This is not good for college football. Or basketball. Or most any other college sport.

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Checking in for the first time in like 6 weeks. I did indeed stop checking in semi-regularly after the basketball team fell apart. Doesn't help that I don't expect football to be good. But yes, the off-season goings on in the NIL era are too depressing. If you don't think your team is gonna be good this very season, why stick with it, not like anyone can really build anything truly long term at the G5 level anymore. Why follow any specific player, if he is gone once he flashes his potential on the field.

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.
