  1. Congratulations to the players on finally being able to profit from EA Sports NCAA Football video game series. As excited as I am for the return of the greatest football video game series ever, this is equally as exciting for the players. The game earned $80M in annual revenue, and NCAA Football 2014 still sells for $40-60 (the game play mechanics are some of the best ever in any football game ever made). I wonder how accurate the rosters will be, how deep the rosters/NIL will go, and how this will affect fandom in college football. Touching on the last point, I say that because in the last NCAA Football game (2014), a few programs became favorites for users to do career mode with - Idaho & UTSA. The Vandals and Roadrunners grew in popularity from this. People being able to play with actually G5 players (assuming this goes that far) will potentially help close the gap that has been growing between P5 & G5 FBS football from a fan interest standpoint. At the very least, it's a step in the right direction.

  2. Let catdaddyp loose on EA Sports and each Zip will end up with a P5 NIL deal.

  3. Who do y'all think is pulling the strings on these - Guthrie, Groce, both, or someone else? Clearly this happened due to my hunger strike to facilitate the announcement of Ali Ali returning. While I suffered greatly it was worth it as it is obvious there are residual affects. The event in Cleveland is one such example. You are welcome Zip Nation!

  4. The Rubber Bowl was in the college football games leading up to the Info coming into the fold. I'll never forget my team of Zippys whooping the Brutus team's ass at the Rubber Bowl in NCAA Football 2005. In the last decade, technology has vastly improved, which should make the process of detailing the stadiums & their surroundings that much easier. There are over 300 DI basketball programs vs 120 FBS football programs. The lack of detail in the college basketball games was always the least bit surprising (and they sucked).

  5. Looks like a courtesy move to his family. Coming off a 1 catch season at a Dll school it would be a miracle if he even made the practice squad.

  6. Invited to NFL camp IMO Maverick was underutilized during games at Akron. He stood out in practice.

  8. I think it's fair to say this season marks the first real signs of improvement since the program returned. Overall and conference winning percentages by year shows the improvement compared to stagnation in previous years: 2020: .077 (n/a) 2021: .294 (.200) 2022: .268 (.275) 2023: .365 (.370) And this year's schedule featured fewer non-D1 opponents that allowed us to boost the overall winning percentage in recent years.
