The future of NCAA Football video games

[Trill Co$by]

For those who play the NCAA games [honestly who doesn't love Dynasty Mode?], you've probably been made aware that EA Sports has lost the rights to the NCAA trademarks, as well as the rights to SEC, Big Ten, and Pac 12 teams for their annual college football games. That means no LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, USC, Oregon, etc.

So with that in mind, and assuming other teams following suit sometime afterwards, do you think that now would be the best chance for 2kSports to get back into the Football game spectrum?

For some people, NFL 2k5 is still the best football game of all time. And after over 5 years of having no big football franchise to make a game for, I'm sure that 2k is itching for the chance to make a future NCAA football game.

Furthermore, if 2k [or any other company] does get the NCAA rights, how do you think they'll fair against a rivaling "College Football USA '15" series [assuming they revert back to their original series title].

I have only read stories here and there about the situation and I know there was some kind of monetary settlement made.
Would another video game company have to pay to use the likeness of the players? Would that violate NCAA rules?

It's not a huge deal to me because I don't buy they game every year but I do get the itch to play college football games from time to time so I would definitely like to have one available to buy when I want one.
If 2K were to get involved and make a game I would totally be up for it. I think they have done awesome things with the NBA 2K series over the past few years so it would be cool to see what they could do if they had another shot at a football game.

One of the stories I read said players complained about not only using their likeness in looks but also their attributes. So from a realism standpoint I'm not sure how they could work around that to make the teams accurate ability wise. However if they can find a way to do it I'd be interested in trying out a new game.
