SEC, Big Ten, Pac-12 won't license trademarks in next EA SPORTS college football game

[psusnoop]

This is all crazy. I'm not going to post much about because we know nothing more then to speculate and I'm not a huge fan of that.

I like NCAA 14 and will be playing that for some time here.

SC, looking at your avatar... copyright infringement!!! CLW acting on behalf of the SEC is putting the case together right now.

As to your point, the whole thing is just bizarre.

I'll repeat any school that goes along with this at this point is getting BAD (malpractice even) legal advice. Now a President can do it but only doing so knowing they are opening up the school to a lawsuit by its student athletes every year from here to eternity. I'm honestly surprised the Plaintiffs' attorneys didn't add all the NCAA member institutions individually as defendants as well. Same claims no real extra work and its a TON of DEEP pocket books to fatten the Plaintiffs' attorneys coffers when the settle and/or win the lawsuit and destroy college athletics.

Looks like I will be keeping this copy of NCAA for a long time.

Yep you better. At first I thought the odd marketing this year was due to focus on next-gen. Now I'm not entirely sure if there will even be a game next year or if there is one whether it will be a full blown game or just a shell of its former self.

The money made from licensing it's logos/name to EA is not even a drop in a 55 gallon barrel. The risk far outweighs the reward. I am not saying you will never see the NCAA or conferences come back but it is not something they are going to lose any sleep over.

People with money...like more money, not matter how small it may be compared to their other sources.

They wouldn't have done the deal in the first place if the money wasn't good. It sure wasn't to help the schools, fans or...gasp student-athletes

Now whether they opt to come back, that I am not sure. If the money makes sense and they don't fear lawsuits I imagine they definitely will.

Well EA has come out and said there will be a game. I am sure they were aware of this happening when the NCAA pulled out. Just chill out and wait for it to play out
