And if you get 110 colleges created and shared over 2kshare, 2K is asking to lose money because of that judgement in O'Bannon case.

This is incorrect. EA got in trouble because they used Ed O'Bannon and all his buddies in the game without their permission. Heck, they literally made Tim Tebow as a #15 for Florida with the same height/weight/attributes. THAT is what got EA in trouble.

2k cannot be legally reprimanded for user created content. Had EA just made every player randomly generated and gave the users the ability to edit every player in the game, they wouldn't have had any problems. However, they created nearly every single player on each team but just didn't include his name. You could literally take a team roster and go down the depth chart in NCAA Football and just plug in names and it'd be 90% accurate.

Yea, I think that's why the NCAA backed away from EA in that regard. They blatantly left no question unturned about who was who in the game. They'd have small variances, maybe the guy had dreads and didn't have dreads in real life but pretty much everything else was directly correlated to the actual player.

User created content is one of those blurred lines but if done right, there should be no problem whatsoever.

Looking more and more likely after 2K's Pro-Am Team/Jersey/Court Creator that got released yesterday.
