It crashed my browser (Firefox) after a while. The game itself played at low volume but the ads were much louder. I had the video playing in a window in the background and after a while I got booted. Apparently, something pops up that you have to respond to or else you lose your connection. It's a test to make sure there are no idle connections.

Also, there's a boss button that mutes the volume and displays a spreadsheet. Kinda tongue in cheek.

Despite my fears, I was able to access the feeds here in Calgary. I thought it may be restricted to American IPs only like all the television streams on the major networks' websites. Good on the NCAA.
Ya I was #706 in line. I thought I'd be waiting for the better part of an hour, but within 30 seconds I was in. I like that you need to prove you're still watching or they'll cut your feed. Otherwise people may just leave it online all day, even when they go out to run errands, leaving people wanting to watch now waiting in line forever. That's a really good idea!
