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

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.Quote:

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...
Need to perform a seance.Quote:

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.
again... universities already make money off apparel from these guys... so there is no difference
What?Quote:

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

Sorry JBHusker I keep repeating what your saying, this thread is moving fast. OFF TOPIC: I noticed some of you guys kept your NCAASTRATEGIES.com Forum names, did you have to re-sign up here? is there a thread? can i use my old Username and have all my stats?
Since we're not associated at all with that site, you do have to re-register.Quote:

Well there it is. Thanks for posting this it allows my mind to do a 180 since I was pretty down thinking this was the end of college football games in the near future.Quote:

That's a good question, but with Tiger seemingly taking a year off, I'm not sure. Once the fiscal report for that quarter is due, that could give us the answer.Quote:

Well, looks like this crisis is averted.
Just waiting on EA confirmation on the whole situation
First non-NCAA affiliated EA Sports college football video game will be called "College Football 15" source told @ESPN
— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) July 17, 2013
guess that answers my little question... now for them to get started on that editor for us to use
well...considering NCAAUT.
They could make a so called classic college football game with ex college greats surrounded by generics
From the AVP Business Development at Texas A&M University. Director Collegiate Licensing Texas A&M System.
I'm sure they will renew with the CLC, but the important thing here is that it can not be an EXCLUSIVE license until 2019, so someone else will have a shot at making a college football game should they want to (they wont):
SourceQuote:
Additionally, the Settlement provides that Electronic Arts will not enter into an exclusive trademark license with the AFL for five years from the date of approval of the Settlement; and that Electronic Arts will not renew its current collegiate football trademark license with the Collegiate Licensing Company (“CLC”) on an exclusive basis for five years after it expires in 2014; and that Electronic Arts will not seek any new exclusive trademark license for the purpose of making football videogames with the CLC, the NCAA, or any NCAA member institution covered by the current exclusive license for five years after the expiration of the current CLC agreement.
We shall see but fans of the series shouldn't hold their breath. I have a BAD feeling about O'bannon/Keller et al. People really want to fundamentally change college athletics and they are using this lawsuit as leverage to do it. We are talking damages from a liberal San Francisco jury/judge in the hundreds of millions of dollars plus punitive damages to punish EA/NCAA.
As a business decision, its simply smart for EA to cut their losses now and move on. NCAA doesn't sell that well and I think a large % of NCAA "only" guys like myself would probably bite the bullet and buy Madden so they aren't really losing all that much in sales.
One word. Settlement.

Possibly. I dunno what Keller/O'bannon and Plaintiffs' counsel want $ from this. I also dunno what EA wants to do. Maybe they want to fight it all the way up.Quote:
