Northwestern College in Orange City not far from me is a small Christian NAIA school, they started an E-Sports team a couple years ago. It started out with 2 scholarships and I believe a colleague of mine told me they’re awarding 4 now. I don’t know if those go against the athletic dept scholarships or not.If video games are your reality...well... never mind
I don't know, Notre Dame has always been weird and has always negotiated their licensing separately going back to the days of Bill Walsh College Football on the Genesis.Notre Dame just said they won’t allow EA to put them in the new game. I suspect other colleges will follow and this will never happen.

Ultimately, even if ND doesn't play ball (though I suspect they will), just add them as a generic team and make sure there is a edit team feature with enough options to make them as ND-like as possible.
College football sports games peaked with Bill Walsh '95 on the Sega Genesis. After that they got too damn complicated. Also, get off my lawn!
Lots of time spent with that game in college. Loved playing as Colorado with Kordell Stewart and Rashaan Salaam. Just run the option all day long with those two and it was like a cheat code.
I wonder for those 12 schools not in the agreement if it hurts them in recruiting in the future. I get that a ton of those schools are huge names like ND and probably will still get their top choices in terms of recruits, but in today's world I wonder how many recruits would factor in having their name or likeness on a video name.
I remember growing up addicted to NCAA Football and even the March Madness game and think back to being that age and how I couldn't think of anything cooler then playing as myself in a video game. Probably not a big impact, but who knows what goes through the mind of a kid prior to signing.
