A year ago, we announced the return of Electronic Arts successful NCAA College Football franchise, set to release next year.
But that’s running into a bit of a snag. EA is working out compensation for the use of players names, likenesses jersey numbers, etc. And somehow, inexplicably, they have settled on the princely sum of...$500. An amount as outrageous as it is insulting.
Worse, until that gets settled, the game is going absolutely nowhere either.
The [NIL] rule change has made it directly possible for EA Sports to once again pursue making college football video games as long as they compensate the real players.
