My hope has died for another college sports title. The first problem is player compensation - or lack thereof - for likeness usage. The second problem is (or was) the NCAA getting greedy for the use of their license. That cost alone essentially priced 2K out of the college hoops market. The third problem now is conferences receiving autonomy. Want to have a fully-licensed collegiate game? Have to go out to each conference, negotiate, and pay them all a piece of the pie. I readily admit I have no interest in playing a game that doesn't have all the licenses. That makes the experience - aside from the gameplay, of course.

Extremely unfortunate. It will always be disappointing, but the time has come to move on.
