NCAA ends deal with EA sports. Last year for the game.

Incorrect. As more and more individuals are figuring out, the NCAA is not exactly necessary or even appreciated when it comes to college football anymore.

From their statement that seems correct. EA enters in to contracts with individual universities for the right to use their logo, field, songs, etc.. and NCAA terminating their relationship with NCAA does not effect what the universities can do with EA.

They could go through individual universities, but won't actually need to because of the CLC or Collegiate Licensing Corporation, which bundles such naming rights for all 127 FBS-playing schools at once.

For further takes on why this really is a non-issue, see this article on SBNation.

This concerns me. Our beloved University doesn't seem to play nice with things like this. See our fight song as an example.

I'm happy for this. It would be nice to see other developers take a stab at college ball. Look at the NBA 2K games, the best basketball game on the market and one of the best sports games period. EA has been mailing it in for years with their football titles.

But, as I've said before with backup to prove so, the NCAA is not necessary to make the exact game sitting in your PS3s and XBOXs right now. Literally, the only approval necessary is the CLC and otherwise the spare school here and there like Notre Dame.

It really pisses me off that our fight song isn't in it. We have alumni who work on the game which is why Apogee is so incredible and we were in the commercials/trailers last year...which means our administration is the reason. Not laziness or lack of care from EA.

Putting us on the wrong sideline for two straight years is laziness on EA's part

Really? So, uh, those mountains in the background... were our alumni just boosting our profile? I wish those mountains actually existed in real life.

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
