Brandr Drops EA Sports Suit, College Football Video Game in Sight

In 2013, EA Sports discontinued its famed NCAA Football video game series due to legal challenges surrounding the unauthorized usage of student-athletes’ likenesses. Now, ten years later, student-athletes can be compensated for their name, image, and likeness without forfeiting their collegiate eligibility – opening the door for the series to return.

Much to the delight of NCAA Football fans – next summer – EA Sports plans to release its first re-installment of the game since its 2013 cancelation. Anticipation for this game has been building since the implementation of NIL rights for student-athletes in July 2021. After an arduous two-year wait, what appears to be the final roadblock to the new game has now been settled.
