EA Sports might not return to college basketball after all

EA Sports' plans to revive its college basketball video game franchise have been thrown into uncertainty. The company had previously announced that it was working on a new college basketball title, but it has now rescinded licensing offers to several schools. According to reports, EA Sports faced challenges in securing the necessary rights and permissions from colleges and universities to use their names, logos, and players in the game. The company's previous college basketball series, which last released a title in 2010, was a popular and profitable franchise, but the licensing issues appear to have been a significant hurdle in relaunching the series. The news is a disappointment for fans who were looking forward to the return of EA Sports' college basketball game. It remains unclear whether the company will be able to overcome the licensing challenges and ultimately release a new college basketball title in the future.
