The College Football 26 video game will be released on July 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and creator EA Sports already announced that college stars who opted in to use their names in the game would be paid more than double for doing so. Now, the company will pay the universities for using the schools' names, images and likeness in the video game, too—but it's all dependent on how much their teams are used in the game.
Matt Liberman of cllctmedia obtained documents through a FOIA request to reveal EA Sports's new payment plan for universities. All 136 FBS schools featured in this year's edition of the game will be compensated based on their popularity and usage in the game.
