The NCAA made headlines last week by announcing a committee has been formed to explore the idea of student-athletes being compensated for use of their names, images and likenesses. This would be huge for student-athletes, as we have heard countless stories of players being suspended and thrown out of the history books, while universities make millions of dollars on their name and likeness regardless.
It is a big deal for college athletics, but that is a story for another day.
What has the internet buzzing for many college football fans is that the NCAA Football video game franchise, which was eliminated after NCAA Football 14 because of the use of player’s likenesses, has a good shot at coming back if the NCAA can modify its current rules.
