This means little to EA. All the NCAA licenses is its name


Jul 17, 2013, 2:40 PM

and NCAA logo. the schools license their images and likenesses individually to EA.

Next year it could just be called College Football 2015.

Guess that would include bowl games as well

Hope we get the 2015 bid to the Mashed Potato or Banana Pudding Bowl.

Seems the sponsored bowls could do what they want


Jul 17, 2013, 3:19 PM

Aren't they separate entities from the NCAA

Bowls are not owned by the NCAA.

It's lawsuit protection...


Jul 17, 2013, 3:18 PM

We'll see. This is the NCAA trying to cover their @ss and not suffer from student-athletes (past and present) suing them for money... "We never said that EA could use trademarks or any likeness. Each school individually decided on that." Never mind the EA Games grew the attention, popularity, and profitability of the NCAA "brand". Even if they don't renew.. everyone KNOWS what it is...

This is simply copping out...

This really means nothing EA gets all the team licenses and the bowl licensing from the CLC.

All this does is rename it and gives EA more freedom to do other things with their product that the NCAA did not allow such as player celebrations and things like that.

This is the CLC they are who matter... http://www.clc.com/

UPDATE: Brett McMurphy of ESPN is reporting ESPN has been told EA Sports will still have a college football video game beyond 2014, next year's game will be called College Football 15.

UPDATE #2: According to ESPN's Sports Business reporter Darren Rovell the CLC, which handles school, bowl, awards, etc. licensing, says it plans to work with EA in the future despite the NCAA dropping out.

UPDATE #3: EA Sports Executive Vice President Andrew Wilson speaks. In a statement, Wilson said, "EA SPORTS will continue to develop and publish college football games, but we will no longer include the NCAA names and marks. Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA SPORTS.

We took big creative strides with this year's college game and you’ll see much more in the future. We love college football and look forward to making more games for our fans."
