Could NBA 2K16 be Implementing College Hoops?

Not sure if you guys seen the screen shot someone took but it does say if you do well in College you will draw interest from NBA teams

I struggle to even fathom how college hoops could somehow be involved but there's absolutely no denying of the authentic college representations on each of the three covers.

Nothing stops universities from making their own licensing agreements with other companies. 2K (appears to have) acquired licensing deals with several schools for use of their name and logos. Now, what they can't do is have anything remotely infringing on player likeness. So expect to see completely generic rosters for the players on each team. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if 2K checked the official roster for each school and made an almost polar opposite version of each roster ... just to be sure they didn't even accidentally create a player that looked similar to a real life player.

But yes, as long as a developer acquires the rights and there aren't any player likeness issues, colleges can be represented in a video game.
