EA Sports College Football 25 paid each athlete who opted into last year’s game $600 plus a free copy of the game. Compensation to individual athletes was exclusively managed by OneTeam Partners. More than 14,000 players opted into the game, with the actual likeness of more than 11,000 used, about 85 per team.

The pressure is on Brent Venables and Oklahoma to perform on the actual field, but on the virtual field, the Sooners are guaranteed fun.
