EA to Produce NCAA Football Series for the Next Three Years with New CLC Deal

Developer and publisher EA Sports has officially secured the rights to continue making games under the NCAA Football name for the next three years thanks to a new deal with the College Licensing Company. The company had recently came under allegations that the brand was making money off of NCAA athlete likenesses in recent video game releases without reimbursing the players with any sort of incentives. The current contract EA has with the CLC expires in June 2014, when the new 3-year deal will go into effect. Read on for a CLC's view on the new deal and look for more next generation college football titles coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in EA Sports' NCAA Football franchise!

“There's no reason to discontinue the game, which has been, and is, in compliance with rules regulating college football. Throughout its relationship with EA, CLC has made clear and will continue to make clear, that the participating collegiate institutions are not granting — and have never granted — any license or rights to utilize the name, face, image or likeness of any athlete, whether a current or former student athlete. The license granted is for use of the university's, or conference's or bowl's name, logo and other identifying marks.

In the future, though the game would be marketed under another name, each school will continue to maintain all approval rights for its individual trademarks, stadiums, uniforms, mascots, traditions, and other school-specific indicia in the game. EA will continue to be required to develop games that are in compliance with all applicable NCAA rules as per requirements in the EA trademark license agreement."
