EA might have hoped it was putting to rest the entire issue of lawsuits involving player likenesses when it reached a $40 million settlement, but it appears that is not the case. The NCAA is now suing both Electronic Arts and the College Licensing Company over their settlement with former college athletes who alleged EA's line of college sports games used players' likenesses without compensation.
This new lawsuit was filed earlier this month in a Georgia state court, reports USA Today. It alleges EA and CLC both breached contractual obligations they had to the NCAA with regard to the player likeness lawsuit, including the fact that EA didn't have liability insurance to cover "pending third-party claims, including for attorneys' fees that the NCAA has already incurred in defending against those claims."
