    We're separate from ncaastrategies.com. We broke off into our own site in 2010. Shoot me a PM, I think I can change your username in the admin.

    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.

    This is interesting. I don't think any of us should stress out about it. I don't believe this to be the last NCAA football game ever (minus the
    NCAA). Also I'm sure we will find out more about it in the coming weeks and months.

    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.

    well...considering NCAAUT.

    They could make a so called classic college football game with ex college greats surrounded by generics

    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):

    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.

    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.

    USUALLY class-actions settle out of court IMMEDIATELY following the class-certification ruling (which is pending now before the court).

    IF the case doesn't settle shortly after the judge certifies the class (i'd be stunned if it doesn't get certified) usually a month or two it's going to be a LONG fight.
