I just bought the North Carolina game that I missed yesterday from iTunes. Thinking, stupidly, that I got the whole game.... I left it to download whilst I took a leak, and come to find out, the damn thing is only 8 minutes long!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Apple, I want my two dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not saying it's a good deal or anything, but it's pretty clear from the screen what you're getting.

"Check out our preview of this year's tournament and download the condensed games."

If you look at the running time for the games, they range from 8 to 10 minutes.

I think the NCAA offers the games on their site: http://www.ncaasports.com/mmod

Media download sites are one of the only places in the universe with almost zero refund policy. Read instructions carefully.

I bought the Championship game between USC and Texas. That was a lame download. No more sports highlights downloads for me. I am not surprised but feel your pain.
