Why did the NCAA Football video game series end?
The NCAA Football video game series ended in 2013 due to the legal dispute between the NCAA and former student-athletes who claimed the NCAA infringed on their rights. The NCAA refused to recognize the players' right to profit off their likenesses and refused to renew its agreement with Electronic Arts, the producer of the game. As a result, the game was discontinued. EA then released the game under a new title, College Football, that did not feature the NCAA logo or real team names. The end of the NCAA Football series left a void in the gaming industry and disappointed millions of college football fans.
