Sen. Chris Murphy Criticizes EA Sports College Football Announcement

EA Sports announced plans to release a new college football video game, much to the delight of various fans and athletes across the country. But Tuesday's announcement didn't come without its share of criticism.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy criticized EA Sports in a statement saying the college football reboot "is just further proof that the NCAA's priority is keeping their profits coming."

The new EA Sports game will not feature the names or numbers of active players and effectively bypass the need to compensate athletes for their name, image and likeness.
