We do have reports that the schools that haven't officially signed yet are still working cooperatively with EA so that once the contracts are ironed out everything will be ready to go. And if I remember right, every single FBS and future FBS school is working with EA right now. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Exactly what I read too.

With the news about USC and UCLA I really hope the game comes out next year and has these two as well as Texas/ Oklahoma in their legacy conferences. It just feels more like college football that way and that version of the game would be a collectors item.

hopefully customisable conferences will make it's way into that first iteration back next summer
*fingers crossed*

Highly unlikely but any news regarding if FCS schools are in the game?

It's already been stated they won't be.

Based on what is happening with college ball right now I have no idea what college football will look like by the time of release. Clearly 2 super conferences are well underway and the college stuff that I love is disappearing in front of our eyes.

I loved recruiting in NCAA 14 but I guess, sadly, the recruiting system will have to be based on NIL and the amount of money programs have to spend. I suspect EA Tiburon is trying to figure out what to do with NIL.

I'm not crazy about the direction of college football but I do believe greed will cycle back through and some institutions will decide to go back to smaller conferences, less revenue to share

also, just as it pertains to video game football, I'm excited to see how challenging it will be to build up a team like such as Eastern Michigan or UMassor whoever, from a group of 5 conference and make it into the Gonzaga or Villanova of college football, maintain a high level while not accepting membership into a power 5 conference. hopefully that will be a difficult challenge in EACF, creating a dynasty that doesn't have huge NIL coffers at it's disposal, yet still manage to steal a handful of hidden gems while the rest of national powers are headed to hell in handbasket and don't even realise

sometimes you have to find the silver lining in the playbook

Yup I love the small programs. Some of my best memories were starting as OC and working my way up. I had a blast in NCAA 13 when I was the OC at Rice for 6 seasons. Assuming coordinators are back for next college football I’ll be starting with JMU.
