Perhaps work a deal with CLC, they are the big license player in this. Try to work a deal with CLC and ESPN to maintain their rights. Call the game College Gameday 2015. I am sure with ESPN's backing, certain schools that would have issue with follow due to the revenue it would maintain.

I the HUGE picture of real world CFB, just one more reason all the big conferences and schools need to leave the NCAA and form their own organization for rules, regs, post season, etc. Myself and many of my CFB fan family and friends agree, what benefit does big-time CFB get from being a member of the NCAA. They did have the CFA years ago for TV contract negotiations.

The College Football Association (CFA) is the name of a now-defunct body through which American college football schools negotiated TV contracts with networks. The CFA was an alliance of 64 schools formed in 1977 [1] from the major conferences and selected independents.

So why not have all the conference commishes & presidents meet and mutiny against the NCAA? I mean each conference negotiates its own TV deals, etc.

I'd probably consider buying a CFL game, actually.

Ouch.
I haven't bought a NCAA game since 2012, but this is still very shocking to me.

Well at least Madden will be "extra good" without having to focus on NCAA (which i've always liked better than Madden.) That is, unless the NFL tries to "Pull an NCAA" on us and screw everybody over, including people who make a living developing the NCAA series.

EA...please just release the uniform update that is probably already done or almost done. And if they would release a patch it would make the game sell better
