@Darrenrovell (ESPN Sports Business):

"CLC, which manages licensing for most of the schools in EA’s NCAA Football, says it will do so in the future even as the NCAA drops out."

I can't see a game next year -- too much of a hassle to get licensing from each school if NCAA is not involved. Madden sales will just increase for EA.

This is so incorrect. Read above on almost any of the previuos 40 pages.

Okay -- I see CLC could still do the licensing -- still don't think this will happen, but we'll see.

Licensing comes from one source for the most part: http://www.clc.com/

NCAA was branding on top of that.

That's what I'm thinking about too. Sure the NCAA name isn't there, but they also lose all the rights of the schools within the NCAA as well. The game would be a shell of what it is today, and honestly, this iteration is the best i've ever played. It's a shame. Hope something can get sorted out, but am prepared for the worst as well
