NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract, NCAA Football Series is Dead in Name Only

Re: NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract, NCAA Football Series is Dead in Name Only

What I got from the news is that EA will no longer make NCAA Football games. If this is the case there is no need to purchase Madden on my part either.

Just read. Just read ANYTHING man. the last 5 pages, a few posts here and there, the title, anything.

What does it mean for the schools that are not associated with the CLC? Do they just get separate deals done with them?

I would assume that to be the case. I don't know if they have a company that distributes like the CLC, but I guess we'll find out in time. There's still a lot to figure out before they go on with this.

Has this person kept up with the thread?

Maybe they are no longer going to buy madden because they think there will be no more NCAA football games to port from?

BINGO my friend!

I want to take time to thank the lawyers responsible for this.

It still could. I think we will see things like students running on the field and tattoos before we will see players getting suspensions and discipline.

Yeah, you definitely make sense and know more than I do. I can keep dreaming, haha.

Storming the field would be a nice consolation prize

Why would it be any different than it is currently?

That's what's happening now, I believe. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Has anybody had the thought that this is GREAT for us and College Football fans!
No more NCAA restrictions. Once EA secures it's license from teh CLC for all the teams and conferences. It can add full playoffs, have kids get into trouble off the field, suspensions.

College Football 15 could be down right amazing. The NCAA set up so many restrictions, i think this will make a better product

CLC is also making their licence available to 2K.

There's nothing to actually figure out. The NCAA didn't do anything licensing wise for any schools or conferences -- whatever agreements EA has had they still do. The only thing that changes today is that the NCAA isn't involved in the product, which is more cosmetic/superficial than anything substantive.

I share the same thoughts my friend.

I've been trying to figure out how likely it will be to see a lot more features added or brought back

Any source for this?

Someone mentioned upthread that the individual schools aren't going to want all of the off-field nastiness represented either.
