Of course

Hope it doesn't start a trend though

you can look at the Collegiate License group list of schools already under them that can be used
now its schools not in that EA probably gotta make deals with. but i expect if they already in madden then they'll probably give the go ahead to use them
some schools not on the CLG list have expressed on twitter that they'll be happy to be in but still thats just twitter handlers, school admin gotta make the decision

all ea has to do is include a robust editor

like they used to

Hopefully they do the same for basketball. EA stinks at making basketball games but I’ll be all in if it’s the only college basketball option.

Looking out for the players and making sure they get paid for their likeness is more important than a video game to them.

If anything it'll help recruiting.

Yea... naa. These kids wanna play. They're gonna get compensated regardless.. but imagine ND tryna hold everything up from the jump. EA sports would be like, 'aiight then, peace.'

Who else is it? BYU? The Ivy Leagues?

the real question is will they allow the dynasty mode to let you make the rules for tour own BCS playoff. I need to be able to expand it if I want too

So do the players get 100% or will the universities be taking a cut as well? Cause it's fukked up if you're eating off my name twice

What exactly is the likeness that was being used by players who were currently enrolled? The only identifiable marking that said EJ Manuel on the game was the number and 10x outta 10, the computer generated players looked nothing like them. Names were generated by users offline to match the rosters. The issue was with the former players, specifically O'Bannon's funky ass

even tho it may not looked like them facially. it was still same skin color, height, weight, jersey #
that was all it took

Height and weight was always off by one or two lbs/inches. if they reversed the skin color then Jersey # will remain. That's the only constant in college football when it comes to this stuff. I get it, but folks really stretching when saying players should get paid off the game when the ONLY likeness is the numbers on the jerseys.

reading this article, it was a lot more regarding what EA was trying to match up to real players
but weight/height seem to be where they tried to make a difference

126 top NCAA Football 14 players nearly match their real-life counterparts - SBNation.com

SB Nation compared the uniform number of the top player on each NCAA 14 team to his real-life counterpart and, unsurprisingly, found widespread similarities.

• Of the 126 players surveyed, 124 play the same position as the real-life doppelganger.
• 122 players have an identical height to that listed on the real-life program's official roster.
• Just 80 have an identical weight, but 115 are within 10 pounds of the actual player's listed weight.
• All 126 video game characters have the same home state as corresponding real-life players, though not a single game character is from the same hometown.
• In all, 78 of 126 players have an identical height, weight, position, and home state as the current real-life player wearing the same jersey number.

The only other position discrepancy is actually an issue of classification: Western Michigan defender Johnnie Simon, who plays the linebacker/free safety hybrid position in the Broncos' 4-2-5 defense, is a free safety in NCAA 14 and a linebacker on Western Michigan's roster.

Of the similarities between actual players and their video counterparts, the home states are frequently the most similar. Florida is not a particularly lucrative recruiting area for Cal, for obvious geographic reasons. California punter Cole Leininger is one of just three Golden Bears from Florida, but Cal's punter on NCAA 14, "P #16," also hails from Florida. Auburn punter Steven Clark and Auburn "P #6" call Missouri home, despite Auburn's location in Alabama. Army's "MLB #6" hails from Wisconsin, just as Army middle linebacker #6 Geoffrey Bacon. In all, 74 of the 126 top players are playing for programs outside their home states, and all 74 NCAA 14 counterparts hail from the same states, including Michigan tackle Taylor Lewan (Arizona hometown), Buffalo running back Branden Oliver (Florida), and Colorado State's Shaq Bell (also Florida).

Most discrepancies are in player weight. Oddly, many of the widest discrepancies are for the most famous players. EA's version of the nation's top defensive player, South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, is 18 pounds lighter than the actual Clowney. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel is just five pounds different than A&M "QB #2", but Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is 22 pounds off his video game counterpart. Only Akron halfback Jawon Chisholm has a wider weight discrepancy from his EA character.

all they have to do is randomize numbers and make everyone the color green and let the nerds do it
