EA Sports Reintroducing College Football Video Game with Option for Players to Receive Compensation

  • EA Sports will relaunch its college football video game franchise, allowing players to opt-in to receive payment for the use of their likeness and image.
  • Players who choose to opt-in will be compensated, though the exact amount is still to be determined.
  • Players who don't opt-in will have a generic name and avatar replace them in the game.
  • The last NCAA Football game was released in 2014, with legal issues over compensating student-athletes for their likeness halting future installments.
  • The new college football game is set for release in summer 2024, with EA Sports working to include all FBS schools.
