Yeah but do u think the colleges themselves will want to get involved with the court cases that will follow for the samething? Plus whoes to say all Div 1 schools will agree to have their school used.

This is the end of college footbal games as you know it. I wish it wasn't but it is.

Okay, I completely admit to having never heard of the CLC until a few pages into this thread (as evidenced by my post on the first page). Looks like it's not dead after all.

However from what I understand, not all of the schools are under its umbrella?

Still waiting to hear from EA and/or the CLC on this.

No it's not. It's basically unchanged from the way it is now except the NCAA won't be affiliated. The schools were already through the CLC. NOTHING CHANGES!

It's not just removing the NCAA name and logos from the game... what appears on the surface is never that simple on cases like this... This is more of a wait and see what happens thing. Hopefully the game doesn't get affected too much

Statement from EA:

http://www.ea.com/news/update-on-ea-...llege-football

"This is simple: EA SPORTS will continue to develop and publish college football games, but we will no longer include the NCAA names and marks. Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA SPORTS. "

EA reps are saying what they need to say when news hits.. simple damage control to prevent any PR fiascos... but nobody can be so sure everything will remain the same. I hope it does however.
