— Virginia Tech Football (@HokiesFB) July 14, 2025 No. 2: Pack light. In the past, I've tried to bring a notepad into the stands so I could write down tidbits about the game.

EA worked hard to put together a package to take care of that issue and settled on paying athletes $600 each in addition to receiving a free copy of the game to use their name, image, and likeness.
