The NCAA is granting players the ability to make money off of their names and licenses according to news reports today. Shams Charania of The Athletic helped break the news on Twitter. EA Sports College Football video game fans are absolutely elated by this development. Back in February, EA let the cat out of the bag with an announcement of NCAA Football’s revival. The beloved video game series was a sorely missed part of the sports gaming landscape. With today’s news, the fans will only be more ravenous to pick up where they left off in the series. It’s been a long time since NCAA Football 14 back in July of 2013. So much has changed in the landscape of college football. (Try going back to those days and explaining that UCF would go undefeated in one season.) Regardless of these facts, a return was on the horizon for a while and today’s news will only stoke the calls for an announcement.
NCAA says college athletes will be able to benefit from their name, image and likeness beginning Thursday.
