    So...since EA can no longer have an exclusive contract with the CLC, I wonder what the chances are of Natural Motion (developers of the acclaimed Backbreaker) picking up an additional license? I hope so, with the amazing gem of the original Backbreaker, I can only wish for a college football game of equal quality. It would surely be a masterpiece.

    Schools are not yet 100% on board with the news today...
    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-arts/2525843/

    However, University of Kansas athletics department spokesman Jim Marchiony -- who identified his school as a CLC client -- said KU officials will want to digest the NCAA's decision. Marchiony said Kansas' agreement with EA, via CLC, for the current version of NCAA Football expires June 30, 2014.

    "I'm not surprised CLC and EA Sports have a Plan B and we're looking forward to hearing from them about it, to see how we'll proceed in the future," Marchiony said. "We will certainly talk about it, where we go from here."

    Schools getting advised by their counsel that they dodged a bullet by not being named Defendants in the class action lawsuit. It's only a matter of WHEN (not if) the Universities get sued for video games for college sports.

    Kansas? We already have another team in Kansas that actually matters. Strike them from next years game for non-compliance.

    Also any school that counts a spring game as a win and adds it to the overall record does not deserve to be in the game.

    Does this mean we could possibly see an eight or sixteen team playoff option next year?! I've always been under the impression that it was the NCAA's decision to exclude the playoff from the game.

    ROFL! I wonder if College Gameday considered visiting the spring game and giving it GotW status...

    Possible, but unlikely. Considering that the CLC represents the BCS, I imagine they'll also be the representation for the College Football Playoff, in which case, they likely wouldn't want to show any kind of alternative. As well, other features such as probation would also likely be nixed as the schools that the CLC represent probably wouldn't want it to be included.

    They were at Southern Miss that week. Unfortunately though, Southern Miss lost their Spring Game.





    Sorry, Bill. It was too easy.

    No need to apologize. We haven't won a game in since 2011.

    im sorry i still don't see how that can even go to court... how can a player sue a school for that school being in a game... when they DON'T sue for numbered jersey, t-shirts and other stuff?

    if the Oregon Ducks are in the game with all of their uniforms and the roster reads double zero "00" and the height and weight are set to 4'1" and 150lbs... and all have red hair and are in alternating order of "faces" that come with the game with no dreads and just regular hair cuts... then honestly there is no likeness THEN it is all about the "school's team" and then we the fans who love those players have the ability to create the roster we want once we have purchased the game

    Here's hoping that this isn't the beginning of the end of College Football Videogames. Maybe, just maybe, it is the beginning of EA having more creative control over how we can customize everything in our dynastys. Like playoffs and conferences, could be an improvement. Optimistic.

    I wonder how this will play with the SEC already hinting at a complete break with the NCAA, and the Big Ten possibly to follow next week at their media days?
