2017
in july 2014, the ncaa announced that it would not renew its licensing contract with electronic arts because of an ongoing legal dispute regarding the use of player likenesses in the games. however, this contract only covers the use of the ncaa name and related logos, not those of individual schools and conferences, which are negotiated individually or through the collegiate licensing company. the clc concurrently announced that it would extend its existing licensing deal with ea through 2017, ensuring that ea sports could continue the series without the ncaa branding. however, the series was placed on hiatus in september 2013, following three major conferences pulling their trademark licenses from ea, and uncertainties surrounding the results of lawsuits involving the use of player likenesses in-game.
ncaa football (video game series)
ncaa football 08 is a college football video game created by ea sports, the sports video gaming subsidiary of electronic arts. it is the successor to ncaa football 07 in the ncaa football series. it was officially announced with the launch of the ncaa 08 page on the ea sports website on february 20, 2007. ea sports had opened up a ballot on their "ncaa football 07" site in which fans can vote on a feature to be implemented into the playstation 2 version, making it the first console announced for the game and announcing at least one of its features. fans could vote for either in-game saves, medical red shirts, summer workouts or a lead blocker feature. the option of medical red shirts was voted on and won, and this option is on the dynasty mode on all versions of ncaa football 08. this allows for players that are injured in the middle of the year to apply to gain another year of eligibility. the game was released on july 17, 2007, and the first time release on playstation 3, marking the eleventh installment of the ncaa football series bearing the title "ncaa football". as with ncaa football 07, 08 features limited espn integration.
