The federation’s long-awaited report on athlete compensation overturned the principle of amateurism, preserved the remains of a bygone era intact, and introduced restrictions on players who profited from their names, images, and similarities that were zero. In September 2013 EA Sports announced that it would no longer produce the game after it settled a class-action lawsuit brought by former college athletes against the use of their image in the video game.
