With a game like NCAA Football, student gamers can show their school spirit by playing as their respective college football team. It’s no secret college students love their games, especially sports games.

EA Sports has already made a sound investment in Esports with their Madden, Fifa and Battlefield 1 franchises. The company recently sponsored a Madden 17 tournament which rewarded the winner with a $1 million prize.

Events like these can allow for universities and colleges to recoup the expenses used by sponsoring gaming events like these. If things work smoothly enough, enough football players on respective campuses can make appearances and draw bigger audiences. Anything is possible.
