Omg omg omg omg omg. If this is a joke, I wish nothing but the worst on you. If this is serious, I may need to take a sabbatical from work to uh take care of some things.

was this one of those deals where they were suing to protect themselves from a lawsuit or in case of one?
I expect that is at least partly it.
either way the NCAA wins
colleges have the right to uphold amateur athlete status, sorry kiddies, your pipe dream of getting paid millions while playing college ball ain't gonna happen.

I don't think that thing reads the way you're implying/suggesting.

I think you should brush up on your comprehension

Did you?
That section is neither granting the NCAA permission to endorse/produce games nor saying the NCAA has any plans to do so in the future. It merely says there's nothing to prevent them from doing so should they choose that route in the future.
In other words, nothing's any different than it was yesterday.

So why can't the NCAA have a partnership with a video game company that makes a College football game where the end user has to create every player for their team before playing.
Including height, weight, speed, race, jersey number..etc. That way the NCAA isn't benefiting from the likeness of a player. Users would just be buying a college football game platform with made up players.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN AT ALL NCAA FOOTBALL VIDEO GAMES WILL RETURN.
Read it more carefully. The plaintiff in the case is seeking compensation from video game companies because profit was made using their likeness. So they're looking for money for players. The NCAA is arguing that because they have terminated the relationship with EA and because they are not seeking to renew, then they should not have to pay out compensation. So the other side points out that its a bad argument and not only did they profit from using the likeness of players in the past that they "MAY" try and do it again at some point...I would say it doesnt look good at all for the return of college football to consoles.

This definitely doesn't mean what you think it does
If this argument is coming up in court then it doesn't look good at all for a CFB video game

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.
You're either under the mistaken impression that the court's ruling gave some sort of clearance for the NCAA to engage in sanctioning the production of an 'official' video game or you're under the mistaken impression that the NCAA was forced to stop by a previous court ruling. Neither situation is the case.
Either that or you started a thread simply to point out that at some point in the future there exists the possibility that there will be another 'official' college football video game - which is news to absolutely nobody.

quote:They can. Nothing can stop them. That is what many fans have been screaming since this thing started getting smoke. Even on previous NCAA games you could just press a button and it would randomize the roster names. The physical attributes would be the same, but the names would be random. Most fans now just want 2K(Frick EA) to make a generic game that can be customized completely. The fan boy nerds will do all the work from uploading rosters to even logos.
So why can't the NCAA have a partnership with a video game company that makes a College football game where the end user has to create every player for their team before playing.

The OP is desperate for a new college football video game.
