O'Bannon v. NCAA ruling upheld

9th Circuit Appeals Court upheld the previous ruling that NCAA rules violate anti-trust laws.
Initial ruling stated players can receive up to $5,000 per year in likeness and royalty fees from their schools, but that specific number was struck down.

Not surprising, considering it's the 9th Circuit. It's possible the SCOTUS takes this case... I wouldn't be horribly surprised but most likely they won't.

Sorta.
They upheld the anti-trust portion, but struck down the $5,000 compensation.
This is more of a win for the NCAA IMO. From what I understand, this rules out schools being required to pay athletes anything more than the cost of attendance.

If this is the final word on the matter then college sports video games are effectively dead

Temporarily, yes. Longterm, no. The O"bannon suit is merely the first step. There's a whole host of lawsuits coming down the pike, and this is terrible precedent for the NCAA. It's going to hang over their heads and eventually will break down the barriers.
Pay for play is coming. The only questions are when and what will it look like.

So...does this mean we won't get EA NCAA Football anytime soon?

They could have it but they would have to make it so ambiguous to players and rankings it will be crazy.
I think the big loser in this is merchandisers that sell/print jerseys with numbers on them.

However, it will likely start an arms race between the schools that can afford to pay for "likeness rights"

I'll keep this simple for the tl;dr crowd. There are essentially three steps between now and aNCAA Football TK YEAR disc spinning in your PS4:
1.EA Sports has to want to bring the game back, even if it costs more for them to license player name, image and likeness (NIL) rights.
2.The NCAA has to drop—voluntarily or otherwise— its ban on paying players.
3.Players themselves need to license out their (NIL) rights.
