NCAA Football has been kept alive by fans of the game who continued to update teams and players online until the servers were served down. Fans have waited patiently for the announcement of the game since lawmakers began discussing compensating student-athletes a few years back.
HBCUs (Division I-AA/FCS) were a part of the game for over a decade before being phased out in the early 2010s.Many people not only played the on-the-field game but also turned HBCUs in to national powerhouses via by recruiting high-level athletes.
EA Sports hasn’t revealed a release date for the game yet, and it used the name “College Football” instead of NCAA Football.
It didn’t take long for Jackson State to start promoting Deion Sanders as a potential “cover coach.”
