Why Did EA Sports Stop Making NCAA Football Video Games?

The wildly-popular NCAA Football video games are officially coming back.

EA Sports announced it plans to make a college football video game again. This ends years of speculation about the franchise since it was last produced in 2013.

But why was a game with such a loyal fanbase discontinued in the first place?

The end of the game stems from a high-profile legal battle headed by former UCLA star basketball player Ed O’Bannon that has set the tone for many of the name, image, and likeness conversations still happening in college sports today.
