So if someone were to make millions off of your likeness, skills, and abilities without your permission, you wouldn't be upset? You would just let them go on their merry way without asking to at least get a cut?

There are two very different sides to this coin sir.

UPDATE: Brett McMurphy of ESPN is reporting ESPN has been told EA Sports will still have a college football video game beyond 2014, next year's game will be called College Football 15


UPDATE #3: EA Sports Executive Vice President Andrew Wilson speaks. In a statement, Wilson said, "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.


Sounds to me like EA will continue to make college football games meaning plural, as in years to come.

Here you go.

You can also see which Bowls and conferences are represented by them as well.

Between Rostergate 2014 and this thread, definitely an interesting day on the NCAA board

Guess we're going to have to rename this forum to "College Football" and then rename the College Football forum to "NCAA Football". Or just name this "The Forum Formerly Known As NCAA Football".

It might be called ESPN College Football 14.
