I have a conspuracy theory, seeing all these memes about Madden being worthless again.
Sam Keller is an EA Sports plant. They paid him to sue and eliminate the NCAA video game for a few years because Madden was so far behind and they wanted to guarantee they were getting their money on it. So they got Sam and crew to get rid of NCAA, boosting Madden sales for a decade and then bringing back NCAA triumphantly, knowing the angst and wait would bring in massive profits for them.
