Haha....Truthfully, that day is coming as well. There NCAA is in huge trouble. Don't know if anyone saw but Jay Bilas absolutely killed them last week by going on their online store and searching player names in the product search window, only to have those players jerseys appear as items for sale. This killed the NCAA's assertion that they don't use players' likeness for profit! Later that day they disabled the search feature, and the next day came out with a statement that they would "exit the business" of selling players jerseys. HAHA what a mess.

Right, I saw that. All of the schools I named were still making plenty of money, despite the expenses. Like I said, I get the point that not all schools make a ton of money, but that doesn't change my argument that players should and will be paid sooner rather than later.

Spurrier: Pay players '$3,500 to $4,000' a year

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7990235/south-carolina-gamecocks-coach-steve-spurrier-wants-pay-football-players

Steve Spurrier's idea to give football players an extra stipend had little traction at last year's SEC spring meetings, but that didn't stop him from bringing it up again this go round.

That's from Steve Spurrier. I get that not everyone agrees, but I really wish people would dive a little deeper before trashing the opinion that athletes should be paid.

ACC, BIGXII, B1G, PAC-12 & SEC are gonna form a new division of CFB soon and pay their players. At that point we should get those teams in a game.

Ha! Not sure if you're joking since that's been the battle cry for Madden for 8 years or if you were thinking what I'm thinking; the possible silver lining of maybe some of the better talent from NCAA will move to Madden.

I preferred Madden last gen but imo this gen NCAA has been the better, more fun game.

Most NCAA Division I athletic departments take subsidies

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2013/05/07/ncaa-finances-subsidies/2142443/

All but 23 Division I athletic departments received subsidies.

Most schools athletic departments aren't turning a profit. In fact only 23 of 228 D1 public schools are able to be 100% self sufficient.

Which is another thing. If people don't believe schools make money off of their athletes (they do), then you better believe the NCAA does.

EA will try to capture market share with Madden from all the loss from NCAA. They are both still Football.

dont forget about title IX, that may end up being a game changer for all these schools that want to pay football players. lawyers will be lining up at the university presidents houses with lawsuits in hand.

Createable draft classes?

That would be almost just as good. See NBA 2k series...

Title IX is the problem. If I can't afford a PS4 should you have to buy me one?

Well as others have said, the game is dead. If the conferences are pulling out, that means the teams IN the conferences are going to pull out too. That really doesn't take much to figure out.

If this NCAA Football game was something that actually mattered to the schools, they would put up more of a fight over it. Clearly it's a blip on the radar and not something worth fighting for, so they're just going to steer clear of the (potential) issues that go along with it.

For those of you who think this isn't that huge of a deal and people will still buy a game with a large amount of generic content....come on. People don't buy these games to play as the Lincoln Cornpullers with generic logos/uniforms/etc, they buy them to play as their favorite teams and see college football represented digitally. Would you REALLY care about how many alternate uniforms the Eugene Quackers have?

I'd love to say the game had a good run but at the same time considering how half-assed it's been forever now, perhaps this is an end they deserve.
