In July 2014, the NCAA announced that it would not renew its license contract with Electronic Arts due to an ongoing legal dispute concerning the use of similar in-game players. However, this contract covers only the use of NCAA names and associated logos, not from individual schools and conferences, which are negotiated individually or through the Collegiate License Company. CLC simultaneously announces that it will extend its existing license agreement with EA until 2017, ensuring that EA Sports can continue the series without the NCAA brand. However, the series was placed on hiatus in September 2013, after three major conferences withdrew their trademark license from EA, and uncertainty surrounding the outcome of lawsuits involving the use of similarity in-game players.

The future of the series
Due to recent legal disputes between the association, Electronic Arts, college athletes, and others regarding the use of college athletes' similarities in the video games (which are currently banned by the NCAA because of the concept of sports amateurism), they will not renew licensing agreements with EA. However, the termination of the license affects only the use of in-game NCAA trademarks; teams and other events are granted licenses from individual schools or through organizations such as Collegiate Licensing Companies - which announce on the same day that they will renew their own license agreement with EA until 2017. Thus, EA ensures that with existing offers in Place, will be able to produce future versions of the franchise without an NCAA license (as it did before 1997); EA Sports executive vice president Andrew Wilson announces that the next edition of the franchise is already under development, and will "[still] show college teams, leagues, and all innovation fans expecting from EA Sports.
However, after the SEC conference, Big Ten, and Pac-12 announced that they would not license their trademark to EA, the company announced on 26 September 2013 that it would not make college football matches for 2014.
Player name
The player's real name and exact likeness are not used in the game. While the Madden NFL series uses the real name and likeness of the player, the players are compensated for their use of the image. Due to NCAA restrictions on the amateur status of athletes, names are not allowed. In addition, today's college players can not be used as cover athletes. Instead, each of them includes a player feature whose college eligibility ends the season before the game's release, wearing a college uniform before. Only two exceptions are the Wii version of NCAA Football 09 , featuring Sparty, Michigan State University mascot, on cover, and NCAA Football 06 when Desmond Howard is featured on a flashy cover poses Heisman Trophy during his career in Michigan, although he has not played for Michigan for more than 15 years.
Although EA Sports does not claim that players in the game represent real life players, jersey numbers, positions, height, weight, state and ethnicity are aligned with real players. Certain team enthusiasts will definitely recognize their favorite players (for example, at NCAA Football 14 , Florida State QB # 5 will match Jameis Winston). The actual use of the player's real name will violate the NCAA policy regarding the student athlete. Amateur "roster makers" will often manually hook the player's name and will upload the list file to the built-in roster system. At NCAA Football 09 , EA has incorporated EA Locker feature that allows remote sharing of lists online via Xbox Live or PlayStation Network depending on the console. In certain game modes, the original player is given a fake name. For example, at NCAA Football 14 , Ohio State QB Braxton Miller is referred to as Matthew Carrington.
Soundtracks
Before the release of NCAA Football 06 , the only music featured in this game was the battle of songs from most FBS and FCS colleges featured in the game. It will be played randomly, but the user's favorite "favorites" will always have their first bout song played the first time every game starts.
NCAA Football 06 is the first and only entry in the series that includes licensed music to keep the series in uniform with other current EA Sports releases, such as the Madden NFL and NHL series.
NCAA Football 07 returns to the battle song format only. NCAA Football 08 adds a cinematic theme song to the main menu, with a fight song played during Dynasty Mode.
NCAA Football 09 enables special stadium sound feature that allows users to edit sounds that are heard in a particular stadium during an in-game event, such as touchdown, field targets, or deadlines. Team fans can now create authentic experiences in every stadium using copyrighted songs that EA is not allowed to put in the game.
NCAA Football 10 plays Tick Tick Boom by The Hives in advance only.
NCAA Football 11 uses the music used within ESPN College Football .
