SIAP NCAA will not renew contract with EA Sports

The NCAA has made the decision not to enter a new contract for the license of its name and logo for the EA Sports NCAA Football video game. The current contract expires in June 2014, but our timing is based on the need to provide EA notice for future planning. As a result, the NCAA Football 2014 video game will be the last to include the NCAA’s name and logo. We are confident in our legal position regarding the use of our trademarks in video games. But given the current business climate and costs of litigation, we determined participating in this game is not in the best interests of the NCAA.
The NCAA has never licensed the use of current student-athlete names, images or likenesses to EA. The NCAA has no involvement in licenses between EA and former student-athletes. Member colleges and universities license their own trademarks and other intellectual property for the video game. They will have to independently decide whether to continue those business arrangements in the future.

The folks over in the MSB think that 2K Sports could take over.

I don't think they will. EA is willing to put piles of cash on the table to the vultures at the NCAA.

Not surprised that the NCAA chose not to renew considering that they have added shite like players getting in trouble to the game.

Everyone is reading this wrong. EA Sports had an exclusive contract. This made it impossible for anyone else to make a college football game. The only thing NCAA is not doing is getting back into that exclusive contract, opening the door for other companies to challenge EA in the college football arena. EA can and probably still will make a college game. Hell, it may even be better in a couple of years because of competition.
Edit: I didn't read the very last sentence...
This is going to be weird to see in 2015.

I think you may be reading it wrong... They make it out to sound like they are getting out of it because its a pain in the butt to battle the lawsuits and such for player likeness... Hope I'm wrong though.

so that's it? it's hard for me to believe i just bought the last ncaa football game

Maybe they will take off a year and come back in 2015 with NCAA 15 finally having the years actually match up
