Well of course they will....BUT... here is a key point. >

What happens when we as humans make mistakes? We learn. We learn how to NOT make them again.

The colleges are well aware of the popularity of games like this, and it's nothing but MARKETING. A university is going to do everything in it's power to MARKET ITSELF to young people.

So whatever the outcome of this whole ordeal, the universities will learn how NOT to screw up, and continue to do everything in their power to make sure their own interests are covered.

Example: Alabama agrees to continue to provide whatever content they approve in the game in order to continue the marketing strategy/s.

Do you really think then that Auburn university is going to say "Naaah....it's just too risky. Therefore, we are going to pull our name from everything." ?????

Newsflash > When hell freezes over. No worries.
