With EA Sports set to release the first college football game in over a decade this summer, thousands of players are eligible to receive NIL benefits as part of their inclusion in the game beginning on Thursday.
Athletes from all 134 FBS teams can opt-in to being included in the video game via Learfield’s COMPASS NIL app. A spokesperson from EA Sports told Chris Vannini of The Athletic that players who opt-in to being included in the video game will receive $600 and a free copy of the game. There will also be select players chosen to become ambassadors for the video game, who will be eligible for additional NIL benefits.
Players who do not opt-in will be given a generic avatar and name in their place on the roster.
