Winning multiple championships with Jax State is the point! 😌😌 We're going to do that in real life. Who needs the video game? 😉 To relieve withdrawal pains during the offseason, natch! |

Here's the EA Sports announcement. Jax State is near the end, just before JMU, Sammy, and KSU, at the 0:31 mark.

Saw this morning that any player that chooses to opt-in (and they are all eligible) will get $600 and a free copy of the game.
The Athletic mentioned that most players interviewed said they would have done it for free, just to be in the game.

The Athletic mentioned that most players interviewed said they would have done it for free, just to be in the game. This morning's Matt Brown post said that over 5,000 of the 11,000 FBS players have already opted in to the EA NIL deal. Brown likened getting that kind of response from college kids to a miracle on the level of loaves and fishes. |

I've seen a few people complaining on Twitter that the athletes are getting shafted and should be getting more. I think I speak for most fans when I say I would buy this game without a single player's likeness included. Dynasty is the most popular game mode, and any real-life player will be cycled out within a matter of weeks.

Going back to the original player lawsuits against EA, I've NEVER understood why the response wasn't "fine, we'll remove all real player images & names, and our customers can choose to play with generic names or type in their own." |

Keep in mind that Jax State would not have been included and our players would not be getting $600 each if we had not made the move to FBS.
If you look on the FCS social media sites, they are ALL “Crying The Blues” right now.
THANK YOU Greg for your visionary leadership and hiring acumen that has put our program in a position that few could have imagined just a couple of years ago.
Go Jax State!!!

Not sure that all FCS fans who want to play the video game will be crying the blues. The last iteration of the game 11 years ago didn't include FCS teams either, but it was a simple thing to creat any team from the FCS level, complete with accurate rosters, uniforms & even close to accurate stadiums. The lack of accuracy in music, mascots, & a few other things won't be a dealbreaker for the players who just want a good, modern college video game & want a close resemblance to their favorite FCS team. Granted, the missing $600 check isn't something to dismiss lightly, especially as I think the average FCS player would arguably need it more than a highly recruited FBS player. |

Anything is possible these days. Perhaps they work a deal with some of the more prominent FCS teams (HBCUs and Dakota schools) and they would be available as downloadable content after release.
They could have a deal with just the school to recreate everything with a generic roster.

Just make Delaware available so I can complete our conference ahead of time.
