Is March Madness on Netflix or Hulu?
Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and others have failed to buy into the live streaming of sports such as the March Madness tournament. They haven’t found the right deal to make it happen just yet but we suspect, and have heard rumors about them trying to get into the game, as it were. Suffice it to say, though– Netflix and Hulu subscriptions won’t get you court side seats to the NCAA Tournament of champions.
Avoid Illegal Live Streaming of the NCAA Tournament Online
There are several reasons you may choose to pirate March Madness. You may live in a different country where the above legal options do not apply, for example. If this is the case, we feel for you but we encourage you to seek out legal options for streaming the 2016 NCAA Tournament online. Why? Well, first of all most of these illegal, usually foriegn streams have ads on them not to mention the horrible non-HD quality of their video. Do you really want to be left hanging as your illegal live stream buffers after a buzzer shot? You’d be devastated. They also often feature malware and viruses that can mess up your work computer. Yikes. That would be a fun story to tell the boss, right?
So for your own sake, avoid illegal live streams of March Madness because not only are they immoral, they’re a horrible experience.
