    Kinda different though. Napster was allowing people to download licensed music.

    Online roster editor enables people to change numbers around, as long as it's not for profit...

    The CLC is tied into all of that, they don't have to go indivually on it.

    EA would have to license the BCS and every major bowl or just go the generic route like NCAA Football 99 with fake bowls and a 16 team playoff.

    i dont think it is the end... because once the NCAA is removed, then it just the universities to blame... but the counter to that is how much does any of the Ducks' players make off the crap load of apparel i buy each year?

    NONE.

    so if the players want to sue because of the University having a team in the game, in which it is released as all players being 4'1" weighing 150 lbs and having green skin on the game and all players have "00" as their number then so be it... (just give us that online editor to do all 120+ teams outrselves... case closed) right after they sue for selling a #6 jersey, #8 jersey tee, and any other stuff i buy that has their "likeness" on it...

    And race; height; weight; Hometown; equipment; Name; etc... - which Plaintiffs lawyers equate to "likeness"

    Online roster editor allows people to download the unauthorized "likeness" of college athletes w/o their consent (or so goes the logic of Plaintiffs' lawyers).

    Could it be done? Probably if it was ONLY a number? But with people here flipping out about wrong heights; weights; race; socks; helmets; dreads; etc....

    you really think a title with all that being wrong would sell? i doubt it.

We were constantly removing stuff from the game.

    Im sure every release has a legal budget for stuff like this. Frivolous or not they usually settle.
    What?

    The CLC represents nearly 200 of the nation’s top colleges, universities, bowl games, athletic conferences, the Heisman Trophy, and the NCAA.

    Well that's the point of some of what has been said in this forum. The CLC and EA will have to work something out. EA only has to pay the CLC.

    ESPN reports that EA Sports will continue to make college football games without the NCAA's participation.

    Notre Dame is separate, but EA already has a deal with Notre Dame themselves.

    Since we're not associated at all with that site, you do have to re-register.
