Streaming March Madness On Linux?

Posted by timothy on from the when-you-can-snatch-this-pebble-from-my-hand dept.

neersign writes "March Madness is here and NCAA.com is streaming all of the games over the internet for free. The downside is they are using Microsoft technologies to do so. The standard player lists Windows XP/Vista, IE6, and WMP 9 as the base requirements. The High Quality Video Player requires Silverlight 2. So my question is: how would a Linux user be able to work around these requirements and watch the games?"

    Call them a bunch of faggots for using Microsoft technology. Publicly. Declare whatever it is they're showing to be boring (wtf is march madness?) and take your dollars elsewhere--or to a campaign against them.

      You don't have to be especially smart or sophisticated to buy a Mac (though it helps), so I'm sure there are plenty of Mac owners who are interested in watching this silly little sporting event.

    You're just encouraging them.
