EA Sports only start using the NCAA Licence, because 989 Gamebreaker was the first game to use the NCAA licence.

Yeah College Football USA 96 and 97. Game box art is in my last post. Before that is was Bill Walsh College Football.

Im confused. Could the CLC be sued in the future for the same thing?

Bowls are separate from the NCAA so they are likely still in. Roster share will likely still be in.

Also why is the NCAA being sued if the only reason these games exist is cause of the CLC license.

Probably not considering that they just deal with the licenses of the universities themselves. The NCAA is the law-giver; they are the big fish when it comes to amateur athletics.
