They probably shifted the Wii NCAA team to work on Madden, either for this year title or in preparation for an overhaul of the serie on the Wii for the next one.That what I would do anyway.
It's obvious that the Wii offer some possibility that are impossible to do on platform with classic controller, possibility that could attract new consumers, football fan over 25 for example, but to explore these possibility you need time, trial and error, to see what work and what doesn't.
This cause a problem for EA for most of there big sport franchise though, because they are obligated to do a title every years on all revelant platform. It take a lot more man hours to implement a different approach than to simply make improvement on an old one. And where better to take these developers than from a group that did the exact same kind of game on the exact same platform?
It's not like EA decided "We don't do a Wii version this years, let send all these guy on vacation."
