This is horrible news

The shit?

Not a big deal for me. Last time I played video games, I had an Atari 2600. I miss the 1980s.

No. No no no no no no NO NO NONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I just KNOW this is BYU's doing.

This is Ed O'Bannon's doing, actually.

How many D-1 football players are there? Could they just pay them for each year their likeness is used upon graduation?

 

[MrTitleist]

Thought I read 200K.

This is a bummer, but I guess all good things must come to an end. I loved playing that game and being the Pokes and building a dynasty, winning national championships, etc.
I remember another college game too, NCAA Gamebreaker, that was pretty fun. That one went out in the late 90s I think though.
I don't have time to play those anymore anyway and besides it saves me $60 a year.

They'd probably accept complimentary copies of the game

i enjoyed them but they got a bit too complicated for me, nothing lasts forever!!

Only copy of that I ever bought was 2004. It was pretty fun.

EA offered to compensate players and the NCAA declined.
