    I do wonder whether EA will renew the CLC deal now though, at least as an exclusive, since they can't use the NCAA name, and maybe they'll take the view that it's not worth paying for the CLC license if they can't use the NCAA name.

        There you have it. I look at ESPN probably having an even larger presence in the game now.

                So basically this is a whole lot of nothing. The series is continuing on next yr no matter what happens.

                      Seems like it. This news sure did cause a few problems for about an hour though.

                        Well, that's that. EA would be smart to just come out and confirm.

                            Give them some time, lol. A lot of them are probably still on their lunch break. Its only been 2 hours or so.

                              Yeah, EA needs to just confirm that all is well.

                                Um I'll wait for EA...anyone can throw a tweet out there with the most generic name for a game and look like a genius if it comes to fruition.
