n why has NCAA decided to remove itself from the exclusive contract with EA during the player likeness lawsuit against EA and the NCAA?
because our government and courts love to allow people who willingly entered into contracts to back out of them

The kids are still being used as money makers.
and the kids are using the marketing machines of the NCAA and its member schools to create their own brand
funny enough we have an actual, concrete example of this that occurred within the past 10 years or so: the NBA changing its entry rules to require 1 year of college basketball. that was a pure marketing move for teams so that when a kevin durant or derrick rose gets drafted, they're already a "somebody"
you don't think that johnny football has benefited from his 2 years at TAMU? you think if he was toiling away in a minor league system, being years away from the nation knowing who he is, he'd be better off?

If he were to get hurt and possibly never play in the NFL, he's never going to get the value he brought to the university just last year, let alone a couple more years.

Funny enough, we don't NEED a college to boost a certain individual in their gifted athletic abilities. ESPN put an 8th grader on the cover of their magazine with his football story. The little 8 year old girl who had the youtube video of her juking all the kids out of their cleats. She got on Good Morning America, etc.
