COLLEGE LIFE GAME SERIES
In February 2021, Electronic Arts announced that the series would be returning for next-gen platforms no earlier than summer 2023. 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. 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 and EA made plans to continue the series under the old College Football name. However, this contract only covered 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. In July 2013, 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. EA eventually acquired the licensing rights to the NCAA name and officially rechristened the series with the release of NCAA Football 98. The series began in 1993 with the release of Bill Walsh College Football. It served as a college football counterpart to the Madden NFL series. NCAA Football is an American football video game series developed by EA Sports in which players control and compete against current Division I FBS college teams.
