2013 College Football Thread (Realer than Real Deal Holyfield -->S/O Craftsy)

The drop off from Devin Gardner for Michigan is going to be STEEP this fall... Better pray that he doesnt get hurt... Most important player on the team... Losing a Top 10 pick in Lewan would be easier to replace than Gardner
 
No more NCAA Football games

I have mixed emotions about there being no more EA Sports NCAA Football video game

I used to love playing the EA Sports game but you shouldn't be able to use peoples likeness without compensating them

Trying to make it seems like it's all EA's fault.
 
The NCAA is a disgusting organization.

Money hungry mongloids acting like they are not benefiting off the talents of young man.

nooope

It's almost going to be impossible to get everyone on board, teams won't be able to have any likeness to real NCAA teams, it will be like Alabama, Tuscaloosa Roll Tide and Baton Rouge Roar, Palo Alto Tree, stuff like that.
 
Kudos to ESPN for bending over backwards this offseason to turn Johnny Heisman into the Lebron James of college football, where now every hour of every day we get to listen to them examine every breath he takes, every move he makes, we'll be watching you.

And America will have no choice but to hate the kid because of the coverage. Can't wait!

Why are you watching ESPN? :lol:
 
Just FYI one does not need to "watch" ESPN to be affected by it on a daily basis.

And yes I am very excited to see what Fox has in store :lol:
 
The NCAA has decided today, unilaterally it appears, to not renew their license with EA Sports for the NCAA Football video game beginning next year.

In the statement, the NCAA said, "The NCAA has made the decision not to enter a new contract for the license of its name and logo for the EA Sports NCAA Football video game. The current contract expires in June 2014, but our timing is based on the need to provide EA notice for future planning. As a result, the NCAA Football 2014 video game will be the last to include the NCAA’s name and logo. We are confident in our legal position regarding the use of our trademarks in video games. But given the current business climate and costs of litigation, we determined participating in this game is not in the best interests of the NCAA."

EA should still be able to work out individual school, conference, awards, etc. licenses from the CLC -- which should mean the series should be able to live on. At the end of the day, this is the NCAA taking it's name and logo off of the game, but nothing more it appears. So while the series can't be called "NCAA Football" anymore, perhaps with the ESPN license the series can be called "EA Sports College Gameday 15" next season.

The only way this ends the NCAA Football series altogether is if one of two further scenarios happen: 1)If EA Sports decides it is done with the series altogether, which is doubtful given it's a top seller in the US. 2)If the CLC won't play ball with EA Sports, and thus EA has to negotiate licenses individually from member institutions

It is possible EA Sports will not continue development of the game after this year because of either reason, or because of fears of financial fallout from the Ed O'Bannon lawsuit. However, there is no guarantee EA will face huge financial problems from the O'Bannon lawsuit, and in a sense -- the threat of the O'Bannon lawsuit ending the series is the same today as it was yesterday.

I EA wants to they can continue the game with purely cosmetic changes and greater creative freedom without the NCAA hovering above the game. And let's face it, the less the NCAA is involved in anything, the better it will be.

So in a sense, the only thing different today versus yesterday with regards to the NCAA Football series is that it is no longer the NCAA Football series going forward. Everything thing else remains the same.

UPDATE: Brett McMurphy of ESPN is reporting ESPN has been told EA Sports will still have a college football video game beyond 2014, next year's game will be called College Football 15.
 
Fresh off of recent visits to Vandy, Louisville, Kentucky and most recently Florida State, Josh Malone is very close to announcing his final five which are also the five schools he plans to visit officially before committing and enrolling early in January. It sounds as if that top 5 could come next week.
He's said publicly that Georgia will be on the list. The rest of the five is as yet unnamed.
One school that i do not expect to be on his list is Tennessee. Despite his Crystal Ball reading overwhelmingly in the favor of the Vols, I'm hearing that Tennessee is not going to get one of his five visits and is essentially out of the running.
