'Talk to me @EASPORTS. When can we get this started?!? #BringBackNCAAFootball,' Kirk Herbstreit, a college football analyst for ESPN, tweeted shortly after the NCAA's announcement.
Some even took it a step further by tweeting their ideas about who should be on the cover of the potential new NCAA Football video game, which usually showcases an iconic player."NCAA 21 should have one cover featuring every athlete since 1993," Twitter user Michael Kowalsky tweeted.— Michael Kowalsky
"Where is the Joe Burrow cover of NCAA 21," tweeted user conner_silva05, referencing the LSU quarterback and current Heisman Trophy favorite.Others seemed certain that the NCAA Football game will be back in production by next year, however, EA Sports has not made any announcement about plans to bring the video game back.
In an interview at the Wall Street Journal Tech Live Conference earlier in October, EA Sports CEO Andrew Wilson said the company would be open to creating a new version of the game."If there's a world where the folks who govern these things are able to solve for how to pay players for the use of their name and likeness and stats and data, we would jump at the opportunity to build a game in a heartbeat," Wilson said.
The decision by the NCAA comes after California passed the Fair Pay to Play act, which allowed student-athletes in the state to be properly compensated, leading several other states to begin drafting the same legislation. A federal bill has also been proposed by Ohio congressman and former professional football player Anthony Gonzalez.
