Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) has quickly become one of the most important things in all of college football. NIL quite literally is the difference between the programs at the top of the college football world and those at the bottom.
Thankfully for Georgia, they are one of the programs with the best NIL, so they have been able to take advantage of this new college football landscape. But one thing that has been missing for UGA, and almost every college football program for that matter, is an easy way to directly impact the money Georgia has at their disposal.
That however is changing, thanks to the new EA Sports College Football 26 video game.
Georgia fans have new way to make UGA more money
According to the above post, teams will be paid based on the amount they are used by fans in the new EA College Football 26 video game. More specifically, each team will be paid based on the percentage of games that are played with them.
The specified amount set to be paid to college football programs is unknown, but for simplicity sake let’s say it is $100 million. If Georgia is then used in 1 percent of all the games played in this video game, they will be paid $1 million in royalties.
Sometimes it is fun in these video games to play with a very small school and see if you can take them to a national title. But that may not be the best idea as a Georgia fan. Sure the argument can be made that each individual game really doesn’t add up to that much (which is true), but using a different school gives them more money that could have gone to Georgia.
So out of all the ways to help Georgia’s program, this is potentially the easiest. It is as simple as playing the game as often as possible while using Georgia so that much more money can be handed out to the program.
The game is set to be released July 10, so be sure to mark your calendars so Georgia can start filling their pockets as soon as possible.
