According to that same article NCAA 14 released in September 2013 (that's the same month when the series was permanently shelved and they consolidated staffs). There is no College Football development team, the writer of that article didn't do their research.
I only trust the 4% number because it was an update (presumably posted by an editor)

This is a standard process in AAA games, its not because they are hurting for money, its because they are finished with the development cycle. Heck it wouldn't surprise me if the reported 4% came from the PS3/360 staff and if most of them were those who were moved from the NCAA team.
It's worth noting that EA was approached with the opportunity of an exclusive license, and they would have been fools not to take it. Its hard to imagine the NFL not offering 2K an exclusive license in a hypothetical world where EA cancels Madden. Competition would be better, but in this hypothetical situation competition would be impossible.
