NCAA 2020 App-ID

[AJWittenberger]

Is there any timeframe for when the new NCAA app-id's released for March Madness?  I found the 2017 app-is signatures, and a link for the 2018 signatures but was not able to access the files.

Hi! We will release it in a few days.

[AJWittenberger]

Awesome thank you!  My ISO is interested to see what kind of traffic we'll be seeing hit the firewall once the tournament starts.

@AJWittenberger,

Here is the updated article and custom App-IDs:

Thank you! I'm going to import them on Monday and take a look at the traffic!

[AJWittenberger]

Just an FYI, the app-id's show up as ncaa2019-mm adn ncaa2019-video when they are imported.  I'm assuming that it doesn't mean anything other than the title hasnt been updated.

I edited the second line of the xml files, <entry name="ncaa2019-video"> to <entry name="ncaa2020-video"> and <entry name="ncaa2019-mml"> to <entry name="ncaa2020-mml">. Now it shows as ncaa2020. Sounds to me like they are just using the same application signature as last year, most likely nothing has changed.

Hi!

Thank you @AJWittenberger  for noticing it! I updated the files. 

@VincentPresogna You are right, nothing has changed neither in NCAA player as far as I can see, nor in signature. I will double check next week when the games begin.
