The Hope for NCAA Video Games in the Immediate Future is Dim (Podcast)


Things definitely look a bit dimmer after the NCAA convention, with any action on licensing of college player likenesses or apparel not seeing any movement during the yearly landmark meeting. I wrote an article on the possibility of new legislation making it possible for college sports games to make a return, but that simply didn't happen. We did see small hints that such a model will be viable in the future, but there are no signs an immediate return in the next 18 months is coming. Coming out of the meeting was landmark four year scholarships and full cost of attendance scholarships -- but no movement on the licensing of player likenesses.

While a future NCAA meeting will likely discuss this issue, thanks to the 'resolution to modernize the collegiate athletics model', until ongoing litigation is dealt with, there likely won't be any real movement.

I knew they should have put the playoffs in 14, this is going to drag a few years.

Good thing is if those ratings hold and grow even just a tad, I have no doubt by the end of the decade we will have a new game.

Such a bummer, just a few years back there was serious talk of adding NCAA to the NHL Series. Not a chance now.

I know we are at a point with little hope, but I want so badly to believe that the playoff system will somehow wake the guys with the decision in their hands that they are missing out on major profit by not putting out these games.
