Guys like them make me sick! That's why it's hard for me to watch parts of the Fab Five documentary where Jalen Rose whines about not getting paid while at Michigan (well, legally anyway). You guys did get paid!!! You got a FREE education!!! Not to mention, that was in a time where you could have went straight to the pros if you wanted to get paid cash to play! And, before someone says I don't understand what it's like to be in their shoes. Yes, I do! I was an NCAA D1 athlete!!!

No matter how you view it, college sports is an investment that is in the athlete's favor! If you're not going pro, you're getting a FREE education if you were good enough to get a scholarship. That means you're technically getting paid between $5,000 - $50,000 per year depending on where you go to school (I'm sure there are some lower or higher). If you are going pro, you're expanding your brand and gaining an entire college fan base that will follow you in the pros. You think RGIII would be the NFL's darling if we didn't fall in love with him at Baylor and they didn't market the Hell out of him???

I'll stop there because I'm starting to drift off topic. I'll save that rant for another day. Point is it's people like O'Bannon that take something good that only helped make them famous & try to sabotage it.

Smh at u co-signing this craziness. The ncaa makes trillions off these athletes, most of these guys are not in school for an education and that's their priority. No sabotage going on, everybody gets a part of what the athlete makes except the athlete. I ain't mad at Keller or obannon for the suit, it effects me none the less. Why you feel some way is crazy. And RGIII is a sellout. You say your MADD at jaln rose for him saying he's mad cause he's not getting paid well I don't blame him, once again the ncaa makes millions n millions so share the wealth.

They are given that chance at prized degrees. Those two are just looking for a handout. I am good though with the game and creating the player as we can always edit. People wanting hand outs - there's something new :-/

So if someone were to make millions off of your likeness, skills, and abilities without your permission, you wouldn't be upset? You would just let them go on their merry way without asking to at least get a cut?

There are two very different sides to this coin sir.

UPDATE: Brett McMurphy of ESPN is reporting ESPN has been told EA Sports will still have a college football video game beyond 2014, next year's game will be called College Football 15

UPDATE #3: EA Sports Executive Vice President Andrew Wilson speaks. In a statement, Wilson said, "EA SPORTS will continue to develop and publish college football games, but we will no longer include the NCAA names and marks. Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA SPORTS.

Sounds to me like EA will continue to make college football games meaning plural, as in years to come.

Dos anyone know which schools aren't represented by the CLC? I know Oregon isn't—but I'm sure they'd be keen to stay in the game. It's regarded as a great marketing tool.

Here you go.

You can also see which Bowls and conferences are represented by them as well.

Between Rostergate 2014 and this thread, definitely an interesting day on the NCAA board

Guess we're going to have to rename this forum to "College Football" and then rename the College Football forum to "NCAA Football". Or just name this "The Forum Formerly Known As NCAA Football".

It might be called ESPN College Football 14.

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

There is a ton of info and posts in this thread. Could someone give me a brief overview? I saw that NCAA pulled out of the contract, the game was dead, now it's saved.. Why... How?

I didn't see Ohio State, I guess they will have to make individual deals with schools not represented in the CLC.

yea, no USC or Oregon as well...they can't make a college football game and not have those schools in it.

the ncaa and players have a very nice symbiotic relationship. 99% of the players get more than their fair share of the pie. o'bannon is just a greedy loser.

This is because tOSU, USC, Oregon, and some other schools do their licensing under CLPA, Collegiate Licensed Properties Association. CLPA is somewhat similar to CLC, but operates under a different model:

"The Collegiate Licensed Properties Association (CLPA) is a non-profit organization made up of colleges and universities who manage their own licensing program or partner with the Licensing Resource Group (LRG) for trademark management services. Together, these universities and LRG created the CLPA Authentication Program, which helps to protect university brands from the production and sale of counterfeit merchandise."

Member list: http://www.clpa.us/assets/pdfs/clpa-members.pdf

EDIT: I should probably put together a list of the Division 1-A teams under CLPA. There's a decent amount of them. Not to mention the Fiesta bowl and other bowls.
