Haha....Truthfully, that day is coming as well. There NCAA is in huge trouble. Don't know if anyone saw but Jay Bilas absolutely killed them last week by going on their online store and searching player names in the product search window, only to have those players jerseys appear as items for sale. This killed the NCAA's assertion that they don't use players' likeness for profit! Later that day they disabled the search feature, and the next day came out with a statement that they would "exit the business" of selling players jerseys. HAHA what a mess.

Right, I saw that. All of the schools I named were still making plenty of money, despite the expenses. Like I said, I get the point that not all schools make a ton of money, but that doesn't change my argument that players should and will be paid sooner rather than later.

That's from Steve Spurrier. I get that not everyone agrees, but I really wish people would dive a little deeper before trashing the opinion that athletes should be paid.

ACC, BIGXII, B1G, PAC-12 & SEC are gonna form a new division of CFB soon and pay their players. At that point we should get those teams in a game.

Ha! Not sure if you're joking since that's been the battle cry for Madden for 8 years or if you were thinking what I'm thinking; the possible silver lining of maybe some of the better talent from NCAA will move to Madden.

I preferred Madden last gen but imo this gen NCAA has been the better, more fun game.

Most schools athletic departments aren't turning a profit. In fact only 23 of 228 D1 public schools are able to be 100% self sufficient.

Which is another thing. If people don't believe schools make money off of their athletes (they do), then you better believe the NCAA does.
