EA Sports valuing teams strictly based on polls over last 10 years

EA Sports Ranked Every College Football Program Into Four Tiers for Video Game Royalties

Cockeye at tier 1 and us in tier 4?

I get their logic, but AP polls are not going to determine what teams fans’ buy the most copies of the game…

Hmm. Seems odd that Iow.a would deserve 10 times as much royalties as Nebraska. Good thing for them they used AP ranking finishes and not TV ratings, which I think would be more directly related to game sales.

And is this just for payments to the schools that is separate from payments to athletes? I thought I read each athlete featured got $600 and a free copy of the game.

Seems like a good way to get teams to back out of being included in the game

 

[Stan Raymond]

Sometimes all of our losses count. Sucks, but I do honestly think it's being corrected right now.

I believe it’s just what will be paid to schools. I ready recently it’s still $600 per player. Not sure if cover athletes get more or not.

That tier 4 scratch should cover a nice Valentino's Pizza Party.

I think Cockeye needs to be like 2 or 3 they don't have a good enough offense for tier 1.

however will we financially recover

Not sure why this is newsworthy

If you go by Offense....Then they'd need a Tier 5 for Cockeye
