They could hire Dan Stevens and Peter O'Keefe. I hear they are looking for work. jk

I'd be right in front.

That's a serious waste of resources for such a small return since the vast majority of users wouldn't even play games on the CBS network. CBS was great for NCAA Basketball because CBS shows all kinds of basketball games. Adding another ESPN crew and/or adding ABC (which is essentially ESPN anyway) would be great but it'd be a serious waste to add a network that only shows games from 1 conference (or even worse, 1 team like the Longhorn network or NBC).

CBS shows the Sunbowl as well as select Navy games including the Army vs. Navy game and Notre Dame vs. Navy when Navy is the home team.

But I get what your're trying to say. But if I were heading up the EA NCAA Football series I would do whatever it takes to get as many networks represented in the game as possible.

Like I said in another post it's probably not something that could be done on the currect gen systems but most definitely could be done in the next gen games.

As well as hopefully having FCS programs and Division II and Division III schools. It would be pretty cool to play the Division II and Division III playoffs with a powerhouse team like Montana.

That sounds like what I just said. They show predominantly 1 conference (SEC) and it sounds like just a handful of other games.

Why would it be any less expensive for EA to secure the rights for other networks on the next gen consoles than it is for them now?

I'd get on it sooner rather than later, with the shift to a new generation and also a shift in college sports broadcasting. It's not just ESPN and friends anymore. NBCSN covers the Mountain West and FCS, CBSSN covers C-USA and the service academies, Fox Sports 1 looks like it's going to cover many conferences, and Fox looks like it's trying to make a push as a competitor to ABC/ESPN for over-the-air college football. Also, the BTN is a Fox property, so Fox in particular seems like they're seriously invested in the sport.

I still can't believe people can't get the fact that all of these things cost money. EA already paid big bucks to secure the ESPN license, and I'm sure as snot that any other network does not want to share billing with Mickey Mouse. I can see the overlays for the ESPN family of networks, but I don't ever see any of their competitors wanting close to the game without being paid royally.

I wasn't even talking about money wise. Talking about RAM availability.
