UNBELIEVABLE !! As of 1:00 AM Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17), it works – I had no problems whatsoever on my Motorola Bionic. The text I got back said you have until April 2, 2012 to register an e-mail address (username)/password combination for in-app login. You take the code they text you and enter it on their web page. That gives you access to a sign-up page where you provide an e-mail address and select a password. Then they send instructions to that e-mail address for downloading the app. Once installed, you login in-app using that e-mail address (as your username) and password.

Step-by-step for those of you having trouble (no amount of handholding is going to make it work on Ice Cream Sandwich, though):1. Text 0YOURTEAMNAME to 2653 (I literally entered it that way instead of 0KENTUCKYWILDCATS).2. You will be texted a code to enter at the MML Redemption website (mine was TEN alphanumeric characters)3. Go to http://www.ncaa.com/cokezero (which redirects to https://secure.mms.ncaa.com/enterworkflow.do?flowId=commerce.redemption&campaignCode=MMOD_COKE_CMPGN&voucherCode=MMOD_COKE_VCHR&sku=MMODREDEEM2012) and and enter the code.4. You will be prompted to enter an e-mail address and password to use as username/password for the March Madness Live app.5. Use a real e-mail address because that’s the inbox where they will send instructions for downloading the March Madness Live app (I don’t know if authorization will work properly if you just download from app store–on the off chance it was some sort of pre-authorized app, I uninstalled the copy I downloaded from GooglePlay and re-installed from http://www.ncaa.com/mmlandroidmarket as instructed).6. Open application7. Use the e-mail address/password combination you provided earlier to login.8. Enjoy premium features courtesy of Coke Zero.

Those of you lucky enough to have an ICS handset should try logging in through the web browser at http://www.ncaa.com/mml/player/console.html

Anyone else having issues when you try and input password through the above referenced method? I got the free code using Enzy’s Coke Zero method, but every time i enter a letter, it deletes out immediately…? Weird thing is it works fine for the email address part right above it.

For those of you having issues on Honeycomb/ICS try using the desktop player by going to:
http://www.ncaa.com/mml/player/console.html

Of course you’ll need flash player. Once you get the game video going put it into full screen and it should be smooth if your device has enough graphics power. This should work on the Galaxy Nexus.

I tried it, and I got back a text saying “This is not a valid code. Check the 12 or 14 digit code & try again.”

How the hell could you say “but as you can see, the Galaxy Nexus is working great (no streaming though).” Its not working even 30% of “great” if it doesn’t stream.. damnit
