It’s Video Game Week here at SB Nation, and unfortunately for fans of college athletics, the only titles available to play are the franchises of old that have since been discontinued because of dumb NCAA rules. The NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball games were some of the most fun sports games of the era, but because they relied on the likeness of real athletes who aren’t allowed to receive compensation, they were forced to be taken off the shelves.
While the general unrest surrounding student-athlete compensation continues to mount, we are on the verge of more relaxed name, image and likeness (NIL) rules.
