HALLELUJAH.
Announced today, EA Sports will be bringing back their popular college football video game that they (for some reason) retired after the 2014 season. Their last cover athlete? Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson.
There might be a bit of legal red tape, as the NCAA and student athletes continue to navigate (and navigate I mean litigate) issues with compensation for player image likeness, but holy shit this is one amazing step in the right direction.

Two words… TRIPLE. OPTION.
All day, every day boys.
I can't wait to get that triple option playbook rolling again. This is… glorious.

"Are you ever going to buy Madden again now that NCAA Football is back?"
