I doubt it - that's extra licensing costs and extra development work that the NCAA crew would have to come up with in order to only marginally impact sales.

I guess that means. I have to buy this NCAA that just came out, for it might be the last one?

Last NCAA game & last college football game, two different things

Dos anyone know which schools aren't represented by the CLC? I know Oregon isn't—but I'm sure they'd be keen to stay in the game. It's regarded as a great marketing tool.

I would imagine this make the game more like real football. i am sure they will have the BCS teams for sure but i could see them leaving out the Sun Belt / MWC's of the world if they try to ask for too much.

EA will get all of the schools for any game they make. It may not have many benefits of being in the game but not being in the game are obvious: hurts recruiting, makes the fanbase unhappy, and it does not help grow the brand.

Here's how it will play out , thinking like EA would think.


Teambuilder will be the engine for all the teams. The gamers will be creating the teams not in the game, whichever they will be, so they'll be created on Teambuilder. Probably will be a new teambuilder site they'll need to develop without the NCAA bells and whistles.
