A ton of info on this site including fan experiences, fan events, venue info, seating charts, road to the Championships,etc etc

For those you going, have a great time. I'm jealous. Stuck here in Northern NJ (not far from Blair Academy, lol) Hopefully ESPN3 will have a lot of coverage, as I don't feel like subscribing to Flo , after just subscribing to BTN Plus.

Not everyone. But all you need is a "friend" with the right cable company.
One more option: The new online streaming service Sling TV offers ESPN, ESPN2 and access to all ESPN3 content, amongst a bunch of other channels I don't give a rip about, for $20/month. No contract, sign up and cancel whenever. I signed up and was watching ESPN within 10 minutes. For someone like me, who hasn't had a television since 1993, it's been great. I'm hoping they will add BTN in the future as they say they plan to continue adding channels.

This is not a paid commercial, although as I read it over, it sounds like it. The streaming quality is mostly very good, although occasionally a plug-in will crash and I have to re-start the app.

Thanks for the info but I don't see where they have ESPN 3. Has it been advertised that they will be showing NCAA. I don't care what it costs I just want to be able to watch since I can't go.
 
Selection show starts at 5pm Central Time Wednesday. Sessions 1,2,3, and 5 will be shown live on ESPU. The semis and the finals will be shown live on ESPN

Here's the blog post from Sling TV where they announced that they were adding ESPN 3. The thing that's different from watching the rest of the Sling channel lineup is that instead of using the Sling app, you sign in directly to the Watch ESPN app or website. All you do is choose Sling TV on the screen where it asks you to choose your cable TV provider, and then enter your SlingTV username and password.

Appreciate the information man. It's going to be great to be able to watch every match like we did for B1G's.

Take a look at my response to Lsanders. You watch the ESPN 3 content by logging in to the WatchESPN app or website using your Sling TV credentials, rather than using the actual Sling app. I think that's why they don't list it in their channel lineup on their site, because you don't use their app to access the content but rather use your Sling credentials in the ESPN app. It is a bit confusing and I'm not sure why they don't have it more clearly listed on their main site, but I tested it out the other night and it works just fine.

Also, just to mention that ESPN U is not part of the basic Sling package but in a $5/month sports "add-on" that includes other ESPN channels, the SEC Network and maybe some others I'm forgetting. If you have the basic $20/month subscription, you won't get ESPN U but you will get ESPN 3, which for me is better because you can pick and choose which mats to watch.

I hope this helps. I really appreciate the increased access to online content but juggling all the different providers and log-ins and subscriptions can be really confusing.
 
With just about any cable provider you can get ESPN3 for free on your laptop and ESPNU on your TV is pretty much part of any basic TV package. When logging in, they ask who your provider is, that way they determine if ESPN has a contract with that provider. Plus any content can be seen in replay for at least 4 weeks. Hopefully you guys have a provider, otherwise the Slingee thingee may be your only resort, or call one of your friends who Do get ESPN3 and get their sign in info (cable provider/email and password). I gave it to my buddy who moved to Singapore to work for Apple and it worked like a charm.

Like I posted earlier, I don't even have a television. I get broadband Internet but not from a provider that offers ESPN3 access (and I think you have to actually subscribe to cable to have access, anyway, not just broadband as they are trying to discourage cord-cutters like me). For me, Sling TV is the only answer and it's a good one. I agree that if someone has access through their cable provider they should use that because it doesn't cost any extra. There are lots and lots of people who don't, though.

Anyone that has DirecTV or DISH does not have access to ESPN3 which I would bet is the majority of us.
