The University of Notre Dame confirmed Tuesday that it will be featured in the upcoming EA Sports College Football 25 video game.
When the return of the EA Sports college football video game franchise was first conceived in 2021, Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick released a statement in which he said Notre Dame would not be involved "until such time as rules have been finalized governing the participation of our student-athletes," however, Swarbrick made Notre Dame's involvement official in a new statement released Tuesday:
The institution of rules allowing NCAA student-athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness (NIL) in 2021 opened the door for the return of EA Sports' iconic college football series, which has been dormant since the release of NCAA Football 14.
