Re: The NCAA is Investigating Whether or Not It’s Time to Bring NCAA Football Back

Who will compensate the players? The NCAA? The reason it works for professional sports is because the game company signs a deal with the player's union.

I'd love to see it but count me as a skeptic. For one thing the original O'Bannon decision was ridiculous. The players likeness was not used - they were generic likenesses with dozens of players having the same face. Height, weight, and the uniform number are a player's likeness?

If the colleges compensate the players and no outside entity has to pay then it might work. If EA sports has to compensate 85 scholarship players and possibly walk on players for every school which has football I doubt that is financially viable.

I'd love to see it for next gen machines but I remain a skeptic. Until then NCAA 14 is the best game ever made on the ps3 and I'm fine with continuing my teambuilder dynasty until and unless the legal logjam is opened up.
