EA Sports has more than duplicate payments for university football players that appear in university football 26 from $ 600 to $ 1,500.
As reported by Atlético, the New York Times sports segment, is expected to pay $ 16.5 million in general for the name, image and image (NIL) the rights of the players that appear in the game.
This does not include additional payments to ambassadors and deck athletes, nor the luxury edition of College Football 26 granted to those who choose to appear in the game.
In January, EA Sports told The Ahletic that he had no “news” about the changes in his players compensation model.
A month later, Nil Group Pathway was founded and began to obtain null rights for more than 400 players, providing each one with an initial payment of $ 1,500.
“From the beginning, we have designed our NIL program to be accessible, direct, voluntary and equitable for all, offering the same base level compensation to each subdivision athlete of Football Bowl that opts using the OneTeam platform and the Compass Nil application,” said the vice president of EA Sports, Sean O’Brien.
“This approach allows each athlete to make their own decisions. University sports are growing and changing, and our focus on EA Sports is to continue putting the athletes first while we bring them in the game in university football 26 and beyond.”
The president of Pathway, Casey Schwab, added: “This is great news for university soccer players and aligns with our vision in Pathway, which is to provide the most professional, transparent and legitimate null program for university athletes.
“We hope to work with EA and others to achieve our long -term goals.”
College Football 25 was the first time that university athletes were paid for their similarity in the game. EA Sports offered more than 11,000 players $ 600 for their null. The players were previously banned that they were paid due to the NCAA rules.
In 2023, the College Soccer Association Bicotó the low salary of an estimated $ 500 per player compared to the tens of thousands of dollars paid to the NFL players, according to the vice president of CFBPA, Justin Falcinelli.
