That's not the point of this thread almighty TJ. Its about principle. Year after year NCAA leaves out things that actually contribute to the game of college football itself in favor of gimmicks they believe will help sell the game. Its to a point where its almost comical and expected, and people can't put up with it anymore.

And so what if its ECU? Its a team, and they should be fully represented in the game, & not discarded because they are a relatively small school. I bet you'd be pissed if they left out something symbolic of North Carolina. Try not to be so condescending..

Um....with so many NCAA schools having to drop their Native American mascots, I'm pretty sure it isn't the horse EA would be worried about....

Nope, same with Utah. However, Utah just put a new field in, and you won't see "Utes" anywhere - not on their stadium, field, or anything deemed "permanent". Utah has a signed letter from the Ute tribe to use the mascot, yet "just in case", they're not putting it anywhere that can't easily be changed.

I would imagine that many companies, like EA, are taking similar precautions now.

Actually, the Seminole tribe is supportive of FSU and its use. In fact, I believe the person riding the horse is a Seminole Native.

Yeah, I know. My last post explains it better. People (companies) seem to be taking more of a "just in case" approach now. I don't blame EA at all for leaving it out. It's just one less potential lawsuit (from some white guy that thinks Native Americans should be offended).

East Carolina can go in when teams who have finished in the Top 25 three years in a row get theirs in (Oregon State)

Yea, because FSU bribed the ish out of them

And Rocky (from USF) wasnt on teambuilder so does that mean hes not in? Fairly certain he was in last year... damn we are a team that stays around the top 25 too.

Whatever, Im about to start another dynasty on 09, the one that I was going to wait to do o 10, bc im done with all the issues. If they want my money, the demo better absolutely FLAWLESS (doubt it)
