I think that's frankly a great deal for most CFB players, especially smaller-school programs, but I wonder what they're going to do for very big-name big-school players who don't think $600 is enough? 

I.e. let's say the RB from Michigan, Edwards, decides not to sign up. He thinks he's worth $10K. Does EA just replace him with a truly fictional RB, or do they engage his agent and negotiate?

Apparently there are going to be additional NIL deals for top players, probably to be involved with some additional purchasable content.

Got it. That makes sense.

I'm sure there are a LOT of players--especially those who are at the big schools with the big collectives making decently large pay-for-pay salaries NIL money where $600 wouldn't move the needle in their lives at all.

Correct, but I don't think enough to get an increased pay day.  Remember MJ used to opt out of the NBA Live games, so they just made it without him.  $600, plus being in the game seems better than opting out.  Because not even the biggest college football names, a Tim Tebow, is even close to the pull of 90s MJ

The UGA QB recently bought a Lamboghini, so I'd guess he's getting paid more than he was before NIL.  Maybe.

It's the SEC, so probably a wash.  He's just allowed to post the pics now

If the players are able to be edited, then any players that hold out are idiots.  They're easily creatable.  We've been doing it for years before the game ended.  
Same with Jordan in the NBA Live series.  Just made him.  Yawn.

They claim they are blocking it.  No clue how that's possible

There has to be edits, because kids like to mess with all the aesthetics n stuff.  Non-editable players is total nonsense, agreed.

They say there are edits, but no way to put in players who opt out.

I trust the Internet to not find a workaround
