NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract, NCAA Football Series is Dead in Name Only

2K won't be developing a college football game, for a variety of reasons. Just take that for what it's worth.

I have lots of real world responsibilities and gaming is my escape and the NCAA series is the only game I play year round. I literally just stopped playing '13 the week before '14's early release. IMO there are still a lot of variables before "College Football 15" gets made. The CLC license needs to be re-upped. The teams not covered by the CLC need to be dealt with. Most importantly, the O'Bannon case cannot end badly for EA or all bets are off. I love all the optimism here, I really do. I just can't share it right now because I am so damned worried. I have been dreaming of the next-gen college football game for a while now. I certainly hope we get one.

Right, there's still a chance NCAA 14 is the last game. If the lawsuit goes badly for EA, that will likely end its involvement in making a CFB game.

I don't think the CLC will have an issue re-upping with EA, though, so that is promising.

@DJ someone will make a college game again..don't worry. If not ea, then someone else. The NCAA makes a ton on video games. They will be back. Until then, you got your backlog of NCAA games to get your fix.

Its a shame that the NCAA bailed but it's understandable. College sports is big business, especially football. I personally feel like this: If a college football game is never made again, my PS3 will no longer be useful to me nor will I even think about getting the PS4.
