If there was money to be made I am pretty sure that they'd find a way to keep making the games- even if it meant that the player rosters didn't resemble the actual players. There's also a good chance that someone out there would have custom made rosters that you could update to better reflect the actual guys and their attributes, jersey number, etc.
I just think that the lawsuits pushed the studios to drop them faster than they might have, but it was probably a certain eventually. I just think the licensing costs and the fact that there are competing professional versions for the nba and nfl cannibalized a good chunk of the market- as a fair number of people would likely pick up 1 or the other for CFB vs NFL & CBB vs NBA. Ultimately, I just think it wasn't a cash cow, they could devote development resources to 1 football and 1 basketball game better, and figured they'd not really lose a lot in profit because the people who would have bought the college versions would still want those sports titles and simply get the pro version.
