Seems like train of thought is that if NCAA goes with this ruling (they likely hate to lose, but ruling is basically same thing as they were going to let happen with autonomy), EA and other potential licensees could go ahead. I haven't seen much discussion on whom they would be negotiating with, but I think in regards to CFB, it would be conferences and/or schools (CLC) - basically the same as before. (They only dealt with NCAA for the name and for rights to NCAA Tournament in March Madness/NCAA Basketball. CFB is basically run by conferences.)

IMHO EA is not in a position to even think about college basketball gaming, so once the dust is settled, I would venture to guess 2K looks at reviving College Hoops. Granted, college bball games didn't sell all that well, but someone (EA or 2K) is going to give it a try for a few years, provided they can afford the license just to see if having actual players provides a windfall. With NBA 2K surging in popularity the last few years, they could build a great transitional feature between games - importing of players with no issues, storylines around actual players, etc. They might view that as a way to completely lockdown the bball market before EA and Live can get a chance.

I've heard that the Kessler lawsuit would need to be settled first (with out of court settlement or verdict) before EA would proceed. Unsure if true, but it only makes sense they would want all lawsuits wrapped up and NCAA/conferences with defined methodology for acquiring player likenesses and conference rights.

Armchair lawyers think the Kessler lawsuit could be the death knell for the NCAA, but some of these same brain-trusts thought the lawsuit vs. EA would cost them a billion dollars and that the O'Bannon suit would destroy the NCAA. Neither came close to happening, so take the legal fear-mongering with a grain of salt.
