The interesting thing about this coming from Northwestern is that the program comes pretty close to fulfilling what NCAA likes to tout as type of benefits for its student-athletes in football and basketball. NU players must meet academic standards higher than the NCAA's minimums, their tuition is valuable than many other schools' because of Northwestern's insane, exorbitant tuition, and they almost all graduate. The fact that this effort is coming from Northwestern of all places is just more of a demonstration of the NCAA's greed and hypocrisy when it comes to fair compensation for athletes.

Volkerball posted:I know they didn't. The default rosters just say QB #12, etc all the way through. I'm wondering if, assuming they do decide to unionize, it'd be like that for every team except Northwestern, who's players would be able to sell their likenesses and have their actual names used. Yes, a corporation will be willing to pay US dollars to license the likeness of Northwestern football players.

Northwestern is only 14 years removed from their last Big Ten title, and they won a bowl game once, you jerks.

I'd rather EA just make up names of Northwestern football players and sees if anyone notices. Here are some suggestions: Cornelius Touchdownbilt III Phil MCAT Barry Schwartz Pete Campbell The Fifth Baron Saxeburg-Goethe Steve Urkell Trevor Siemian
