Oregon's announcement pays homage to the games' signature intro phrase, 'E-A Sports, it's in the game,' which became a national tagline even after production of the game was shut down.
ES Sports announced that 134 FBS schools will be featured. This time around, players who opt to participate in the game as an NIL deal will receive a free copy alongside $600.
