EA Sports announces it’s finally bringing back a college football game and Twitter went nuts

HUGE news!

This is not a drill.

After years of college football fans begging EA Sports to bring back its NCAA Football series — the last one came out in 2013 with Denard Robinson on the cover — and one mistaken tease in 2016, the company announced on Tuesday that it was bringing back a college football title.

It’s not called “NCAA Football” at the moment and there’s a reason for that — per ESPN, EA has a license to use “FBS schools, traditions, uniforms and playbooks,” but they’re going ahead without rosters with names and likenesses of real players. “Current NCAA rules prohibit athletes from selling their NIL rights while in college,” wrote Michael Rothstein.

Even with that news, fans were going nuts. Here’s the tweet, plus the reaction:
