The licensing agreements are already in place with the other schools. This is similar in "line item" to a single school dropping out of an agreement with the game. Granted, losing the "NCAA" name and logo takes away from a marketing standpoint moreso than Tennessee's logo and namesake, but the point is that it doesn't impact other licenses within the game.

Licensing process for the schools is unchanged. That part literally is not affected by today's news.

Darren Rovell just confirmed it would happen.

Here's the bottom line. If EA can figure a sizeable profit from producing the game without the NCAA licenses, then they'll do it. Just don't be so sure everything's gonna be the same within the game

People aren't going to understand that the only thing they are losing is the NCAA name/logo, so it's to the point where people can probably quit trying to explain it.

NCAA is a separate entity than the colleges.
