College sports is a big business, as everyone including Dabo Swinney knows. So big, in fact, that it served as the inspiration for a major video game franchise you may have heard of: NCAA Football, by EA Sports. EA Sports began producing college football titles and then it all stopped.

EA paid out $60 million in settlements and promptly stopped licensing the game from the NCAA. But that could change, maybe. With Rep.
