NCAA Tournament games to be available with best of Sirius on XM?

Does anyone know if they will? I would hope so- they have plenty of room on XM 102-114, as nothing else is going on in Sirius sports at the time (except the NBA, which is already on XM).

I can't find anything about it on XM's Best Of Sirius page, but I'm sure in a few weeks we'll know...

Good question. I would think XM will have the BIG DANCE games with the channel space they have. Hopefully, we will hear something soon.

Nope I saw a press release today and it indicated NCAA tourney games on Sirius. Of course you can get audio of games along with video on your I phone or Ipod Touch.

Hopefully next time the deal for the tourney games comes up for renewal XM will also get the rights to the games.

Keep checking the XM website. They may have something after the teams are announced...

Oh well, you can see all the games online for free anyway at NCAA March Madness on Demand - NCAA.com, so...

FUCK XM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, you do have to admit that it was pretty stupid of Sirius XM to not get something worked out so that one of the biggest sporting events in America could be broadcasted to ALL of their customers!

Is there any definitive word that the games will not be on XM?

I just looked at the college schedule pages on both xmradio.com and sirius.com and all the XM page shows is a bunch of NIT games, while Sirius page shows NCAA touranement games. Judging by that, I'm left to assume the NCAA tournament is on Sirius only. Also, with as big as the NCAA tournament is, I'd have to think if it was on Best of Sirius that it would be splattered on either XMRadio's main page, or their sports page.

Yes check Fangsbites.com and they have a press release on it being Sirius Exclusive.
