I have to plead total ignorance when it comes to video games, but my grandson tells me this is a huge deal. Unfortunately, it looks like Delaware will not be included in the next edition of EA Sports college football video game this year. I suppose the Blue Hens would be included in future years, assuming a new version is released every season or so. Being included should presumably put UD on level playing field with its rivals in terms of NIL benefits for players, at least that's my read.
Be interested to hear what others think.

Yes, due to transition they will not be in it this upcoming year, but put a tweet out a few weeks ago that they plan on being in it our first year of FBS.

Yeah, bummer for this one. Hopefully just one of the last hits from dragging our feet for so long deciding to move up.

Were we in the last version…or were we in the FCS Land of Misfit Toys?
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS
Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Not sure if we were in all the old ones but we were definitely in NCAA Football 12 because you could add UD to a FBS conference and play as them. Love that we will be in the 26 version. Cannot wait to get it. Will be good exposure for UD to grade school kids.
