1. Oh, well...

All this doesn't really affect me, because, as much as I would have loved to play a college football videogame, I was never able to; there were no PC versions, and, even if I had had a console, college sports games were not distributed in Europe and, up to the previous console generation, they were region locked as well.

So I was happy to hear that the NCAA had broken off ties with EA Sports, because I hate exclusivity agreements, and, the way things were going with EA, I would never get to play a CFB game. I'd be curious to see some other company have a try at making a college football game, just to see if they can do it better.

I guess a big part of the problem is that a game like this is not going to do well without licensed teams, so the big question going forward will be how the NCAA is going to handle licensing in the future.
