Why don't they just make a generic CF game?

That's what I've been wondering. The NCAA and players don't own the concept of college football. Let all the school colors, conferences, and player likeness be crowdsourced by the consumers. It basically already was anyway. I would think a company could avoid any lawsuits then by saying all they did was allow the player to have customization options and share it with their friends. If a random kid decided to spend a whole day making every school and uploading it without seeking profit, I don't see the issue.

I know they officially pulled the plug once the P5 conference all pulled out and wouldn't allow EA to use their logos.

I'm thinking they are questioning how many people would buy the game if everything in it was generic. Nothing but generic teams, stadiums, conferences and uniforms. Would be a hard sell to the general public even if things could get modded or customized.

Hopefully NBA 2k16 will open the door to schools allowing them to make a game if every player if 100% generic.

Having to download fan made rosters would ruin any sort of online play.

And if he game is generic to the point that fans have to customize and add the schools themselves ruins the whole game. The whole appeal is being able to play in your stadium with your fight song and all that. I won't be able to customize some generic stadium into Jordan Hare. It ruins many of the small details of what people love about the dynasty game.
