Coke Zero’s “Ultimate Dream Job” not really a job at all.

If you love college basketball, this certainly looks pretty interesting. Coke Zero is running a contest that puts four winners in San Antonio, site of this year’s March Madness, living in “CokeZeroVille,” near the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, and watching every March Madness game and blogging about their experiences. Upon successful completion of their “job,” they win tickets to all Final Four game. For the semis, they get prime seats and an escort by 1989 player of the year Sean Elliot.

I don’t like college basketball enough to even try this, but maybe my man Neil Joshi, the college basketball columnist here, can apply? The deadline for application of Wednesday, February 27. (Apply here.)

I think it’s a great idea. I’ve never heard of anything like it.

It’s also a great use of the web, having the participants blog about it.

To apply, you have to submit 200 words and a photo showing how hardcore of a fan you are.
