Yes. There are no conflicting views here. Just people providing false info.

The NCAA doesnt control the stadiums/uniforms/logos/bowls/awards/fight songs. The CLC does for most of the schools. A few schools partner with another company and Notre Dame does it on their own. The Bowls always negotiated separately. Same with the awards.

The CLC/Bowls/Awards have no risk of legitimate litigation by continuing to be in the game. These schools arent going to turn away free money because the NCAA is in a lawsuit.

Sorry to break it to you man, but looks like you're gonna to have to repeat this again and again and again because people in this thread just ain't gettin' it.

IMO getting the NCAA out of the way is a blessing.

I know! The title of the thread says the NCAA series is dead. The article on the front page of OS has a quote from EA saying that it will continue the series with the CLC. Its not rocket science people.

If EA has to approach 100 schools individually for licenses this game will be over. Or they will at least be forced to limit themselves to fewer schools, likely just the major programs.

But if they can pull it off perhaps they can put life back into this title by returning celebrations and more of the exciting atmosphere of college ball which was removed due to stodgy NCAA oversight.

They dont. The CLC represents over 100 schools.

You figured it would be a moot point once EA said they would continue on.

The article says college football 15 is already in production for next gen.
