Sad day if you ask me, now since the NCAA is being this way, does this damage the hops of us getting a NCAA basketball game back in motion.

i wish I could say I was really sad, but I'm not at this point.

I've felt EA has robbed consumers of their money the past 4-5 years with their lackluster NCAA next-gen efforts.

The only good thing that could come from this is now that the NCAA name is gone they can add in things like fans rushing the field, harder hits, etc.

But unless they are able to get every team, conference, bowl game then there's wont be much attraction to many ppl

What's sad, is that most consumers & customers do not understand the ramifications of the lawsuit or what it entails. That article did an excellent job discussing the legal implications in a simple way.

Absent minded people think O'Bannon and Keller just want money.
Clueless people think EA should win for the sole reason to continue college football games.
Ignorant people think this lawsuit is just EA screwing over people.
Blinded fans think that college kids deserve more than what they've already been entitled to.

When the dust settles on the lawsuit, college athletics and video games will change permanently, either in a good way or a bad way. And the majority of people I listed in the examples above, will have no clue why.

I'd say it more or less kills the chances of a licensed college basketball game for the time being. The NCAA owns the rights to March Madness and other college basketball trademarks.

Does anybody know the ramifications of not having the game with the NCAA?

It just means they can't use the NCAA name or logo on their product.
