“If you can borrow a cable sign in then you are good to go. If not, you can try opening a Chrome incognito window and watching the game on the NCAA website and then closing the the page and re-opening another incognito page to watch the next game,” Inform.com suggested. “There are other not so legal options but the best workaround is to try out the app with a shared cable account password.”
Here is the official information from the NCAA website:
