College basketball fans may have the opportunity to play with a prominent program on their favorite video game console, but the selection will reportedly be limited. 

According to the Sporting News' Bryan Wiedey, the licenses for Arizona, Arizona State, Georgetown, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, Texas, UCLA, UConn, Villanova, and Wisconsin have all been acquired by 2K Sports through the Collegiate Licensing Company. The purpose for obtaining those licenses, many assume, is for the "MyCareer Mode" in the company's next NBA game, NBA 2K16. 

NBA 2K16 will reportedly have a college portion of the career mode, where users control one player on the path to NBA stardom. So while names and likenesses are almost definitely going to be absent from the college portion of the game, fans will at least have uniforms and logos that match those 11 schools.

As a matter of odd coincedence, this news comes just weeks before thousands of football and men's basketball players begin getting paid for past appearances in NCAA-branded video games as part of a combined $60 million settlement between Electronic Arts, Collegiate Licensing Company and the NCAA. 

Kansas will reportedly be one of the schools involved in NBA 2K16. (USATSI)
