How to Watch March Madness at Work

If you're like me, you'll find yourself having to work during many of the March Madness games. While I was interning, my boss was just as interested in the games as I was (it helped that he was a Cornell alum and they were playing), so we set up a laptop to stream the games on. I no longer have that luxury and will have to be a little bit more...creative in how I stay up to date with the games. Here are 5 ways to catch March Madness live, even if you're stuck in the office.


1. Download the App: I know it's on the iPhone, and probably most other smart phones: NCAA March Madness Live. This free app allows you to check scores, fill out and follow your bracket, get game alerts, and listen to live game radio. For the price of $3.99 you can steam all 67 games live.

2. Get a Second Monitor: If you have the luxury of having two monitors at your work station (it helps if you frequently use both), just dedicate one of the screens to March Madness. Watching the games on mute will help conceal your actions. If it's like last year, CBS' website had a link that instantly switched the video feed to a hilarious flowchart.

3. Bring in a Small TV: This only works for the games that are being broadcast on a local station, but a small TV should be pretty easy to conceal in your desk.

4. Watch it on Your Desktop Anyway: If no one else can see your screen, keep the games open in a different window and minimize it any time you think someone might be about to walk by. If you get caught up in a game, be sure to hit buttons on the keyboard, or click your mouse a few times, to make it sound like you are working.

5. Call in Sick: If you have some sick days, or vacation days, use them up and stay at home to watch the games on your couch. Or, go to a sports bar. No one can judge you if you start drinking at noon (when the first games of the day usually start) during March Madness.

*Disclaimer: you are NOT allowed to blame me if you get caught trying these tactics. These strategies may lead to disciplinary actions, or even termination from the workplace.
