Recent Legal News Could Have Big Implications for College Football—but Not for Its Video Games

The NCAA's model is under attack from all sides, so naturally you’re thinking about video games...

From Jake: Do you ever see another college football video game coming out? How much are NFL players paid to be in Madden?

This is probably the most common question I get every time I write about challenges to the NCAA’s rules regarding payment of players. And this is a particularly juicy week to answer it considering the schools and the NCAA just took an L (that should kind of feel like a W) in federal court (pending appeal) and a congressman from North Carolina is planning to introduce a bill that, if passed, would force the NCAA to lift its ban on players profiting off their name, image and likeness rights.
