There were no major opt-outs in last year's game return. Arch Manning signed on late. Some players fell through the cracks but were added later.

In total, EA Sports is spending more than $16.5 million on player NIL for CFB26. www.nytimes.com/athletic/621...

EA Sports' increase in NIL $ comes not long after new company Pathway has started buying up players' video game NIL rights to negotiate a bigger deal.

EA says that didn't have an impact. But combining the two, some players will get $3,000 this year just for being in CFB26.
