EA Sports does not reach agreement with NCAA: Will this be the last "NCAA" football game?

    With the contract between the NCAA and EA Sports ending soon, the chance for a renewal has been demolished. The NCAA and EA have agreed to part ways, as they could not successfully come together. Although the game will not be affiliated with the NCAA, college football games will still be made. According to bleacherreport.com, the game will no longer include NCAA names and marks. How will the game operate without those marks? Will this new version of the game be as popular as "NCAA Football"??  Well as of now, that remains to be seen. However, EA Sports is working with the CLC (Collegiate Licensing Company) on allowing teams to be able have their particular marks within the next generation of college football games. The fact that  EA Sports is working with the CLC is pivotal because most of the Division I football schools are licensed under this company. If EA is able to pull that off, then the game should be just fine; But until then,  EA Sports will have to decide on many changes in the near future.
