Totally true in a vacuum, but the situation that got us to this point in the first place was the prospect of millions of dollars in ongoing liability for both the NCAA and companies making NCAA-licensed products (including video games) bearing player likenesses.
The fact is that, despite often being a better video game, NCAA Football never sold close to as well as Madden. I doubt it ever lost EA money but it certainly wasn't the annual cash cow that Madden is. Couple that limited financial upside with the very real risk of enormous legal liability and it's no mystery why EA pulled the plug. That same analysis should scare off anybody else wanting to make a game as well. For the time being, it doesn't make financial sense for any company to make a college football game.
The only way we see another game is if the litigation with the players gets resolved in a way that removes future liability from these products. If that happens, there will again be financial reasons to make these games, and somebody will step up and make them.
