The problem is there is no players union for college athletes so instead of signing one deal with the union the company would have to sign individual deals with the athletes. I'm not sure this would resolve the problem unless a union or other legal entity is formed to represent the athletes.

just get the schools to get the players to sign a release most player want to be in the game and will do it for free

What percentage of players get to year 5 before the next version comes out? Most casual players spend the bulk of their time playing online.

I would imagine most people in a dynasty get to year 5 - or would if there was a new game. With accelerated clock I can play a game in about an hour and a half.

I always got between 10 to 20 seasons in each release depending on how good that particular release was.

It's not like NBA, NHL or MLB. It's the great thing about football video games, shorter seasons.

This is unbelievable to me. It's a video game for craps sake , just let them make it already. Unfortunately for me hoping for NCAA football to return is starting to feel like hoping NFL 2k football will return. Fading memory,,,,,

We are the minority though...people in here are the "hardcore" users of the game....the vast majority play online or a season or two I would bet (just based upon people I know).

Add to that most of us here are getting older and are cutting back due to life.

I think we're overestimating how in demand a CFB game. Most people just bought it to hold them over until Madden.
