Courtesy Extra Points with Matt Brown, we now know the details of 2K's bid to attain rights to make a college basketball video game.

Following the CLC's recommendation that EA's bid be accepted, 2K began contacting schools directly with details of their proposal and asking them to delay approval of EA's bid.

Per Matt Brown, 2K requested a non-exclusive contract that planned on incorporating 5v5 college gameplay inside of its popular MyTeam mode within NBA 2K. This aspect would be a standalone purchase and include 16 programs in year one, 32 in year two, and 68 in year three. The company promised to consider a standalone product based upon the success/metrics of the MyTeam add-on. EA's bid featured a standalone game with over 700 men's and women's programs and saw higher payments across the board to players and programs.

It is currently unknown what company filed the third formal bid.
