Texas quarterback Arch Manning made ripples this week when he decided not to opt into EA Sports’s upcoming video game, College Football 25.
Manning’s choice to stay out of the highly anticipated game turned him into something of a black sheep in the college football world. EA Sports announced Monday that more than 10,000 of the roughly 11,000 eligible players already have opted to be included in the game, a decision which earns each athlete $600 and a free copy of the game as compensation.
So, what’s not to like about being included in the video game?
