They started the death of college sports gaming. Such a shame.

A settlement number hasn't been announced. But if it affects 125,000 people (as has been reported), $100 each would be $12.5 million for EA.

I have no idea how well those games sold but I doubt they're in the same league as Grand Theft Auto ($800 million in sales its first week for its latest release).

There's also the issue of eligibility if an active player chooses to receive a settlement check.

Seriously, it's time to pay NCAA athletes.

That's fine, but it should work like Pro where the NCAA sells the rights. I know that will never happen because colleges are trying to get away from the NCAA anyways.

As a condition of eligibility, the NCAA requires players to sign a document that guarantees the rights to their likenesses in perpetuity to the association.

That's the biggest bunch of horseshit I've ever heard of in my entire life.

The NCAA is a joke.

This shouldn't be the death of college football video games.

Sure, it affects the person who wants to buy it out of the box and play it that way, but everyone I know who plays NCAA football always downloads a roster file from someone that updates the rosters, adds names, changes player grades, etc.

There are enough online freaks obsessed with college football that a smart company would realize they can put out a product (with the licensed stuff from the University - stadium, team names and traditions, fight song, etc.) with generalized and random information about players (autogenerate random names AND numbers for players in the 'box' version), and people will still buy it.

Problem #1.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...-football-game

Quote:
The Southeastern Conference, Big Ten and Pac-12 have joined the NCAA in announcing they will no longer license their conference trademarks in the EA Sports NCAA football video game.

The development comes a month after the NCAA said it would not license its trademarks, either. That ruling, however, allowed each individual institution and conference to license its trademarks with EA Sports for future college football games.

"Each school makes its own individual decision regarding whether or not to license their trademarks for use in the EA Sports game[s]," the SEC said in a statement. "The Southeastern Conference has chosen not to do so moving forward.
NCAA Football games are dead.

Is this what O'Bannon is suing for?




Or is he suing for earlier NCAA games?

That doesn't look like O'Bannon at all. He's got blue shoes in the game.
