With the news that the NCAA will be re-examining its policies on player likenesses, there is already a social media push to bring back the wildly popular EA Sports NCAA video game.

Leading that push online is ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who also lent his voice to the game as the in-game color commentator. With the report that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith would be a member of the group examining the policy, the former Buckeye quarterback tried to use his pull in order to get him to change the NCAA’s policy on player likenesses so that the video game could return.

“So [Gene Smith] if all goes well is there a chance we get our NCAA Football video game back?!?” Herbstreit tweeted. “Just asking for a few 100k friends that have missed the game desperately for 5 years—including former and current players. Haha!! Be a hero!”

Hero might be an exaggeration, but only a slight one. Limiting the number to “a few 100k friends” is definitely selling the game short. The last edition of the video game to be released, EA Sports NCAA 14, sold over one million copies. That game was released in July of 2013 and featured former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson on the cover, if that gives you any idea as to how long its been since we’ve had a new version of the game.

The games, both in basketball and football, would use the players’ likenesses without using their names. In 2009, former UCLA basketball player Ed O’Bannon filed a lawsuit against the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company for using his likeness without his permission. In 2015, a settlement was reached with EA Sports and the CLC paying out a $40 million settlement to roughly 100,000 players whose likenesses had been featured in the football and basketball games throughout the years.

With the NCAA not allowing players to make money off their own image or likeness and video game companies not being able to use the players’ images without their permission, fans haven’t seen a new NCAA video game in six years. If the NCAA decides to allow student-athletes to profit off their likeness, there is a chance that the game could return in some capacity. With the advancement in technology since NCAA 14, which was released for PS3 and Xbox 360, it’s exciting to think about what developers could do with the world of college football.

Before the NCAA reviews this policy, Smith made it clear that players would still not be treated as employees regardless of the group’s decision.

“While the formation of this group is an important step to confirming what we believe as an association, the group’s work will not result in paying students as employees,” Smith said. “That structure is contrary to the NCAA’s educational mission and will not be a part of this discussion.”

Even though players wouldn’t be treated as employees, it would be a good step in allowing players to get what they’re worth when it comes to their own images. It would also be good news for video game fans, who could see the return of one of the more popular sports games.
