Gotta pull names out of a hat
Either:
1. Make it a collaborative effort
2. See if there is a way to make an entire conference (like CUSA) full of Illlinois's (10 different Illini teams) and the winner gets promoted to the Big Ten.

Wow! This means that EA is going to be paying Luke an NIL deal on top of the standard $600. This is how they are rewarding the top players in the sport. Look at the names he is in the company of:

Alabama QB Jalen Milroe
Alabama DB Malachi Moore
Clemson QB Cade Klubnik
Colorado WR/DB Travis Hunter
Illinois QB Luke Altmyer
LSU QB Garret Nussmeier
Michigan CB Will Johnson
Michigan RB Donovan Edwards
Missouri QB Brady Cook
Ohio State CB Denzel Burke
Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins
Penn State RB Nick Singleton
Texas QB Quinn Ewers
Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks

I mean cmon that is HUGE!
I hope the kid breaks out this year and gets his own video game.

Getting benched (after injury) for Paddock had to be a rude wakeup call for Luke after not winning the starters job at Ole Miss.
I suspect Luke will be working extra hard this off season to improve his progressions, timing and accuracy. After HS its not just athleticism. QB is a hard job.

Along these lines, I wonder how much of a gap exists, practice performance-wise, between QB1 and QB2, LA and D.Leary, going into spring ball. BB seemed pretty pleased with DL's development at times. Would be great to see the QB depth see the field this year (really tough to do when every game is a close battle)

What EA Sports College Football Means for a College Hoops Game

For over a decade, the NCAA March Madness title was a staple of EA Sports offerings, however, its demise was not attributed to the same legal concerns that plagued the college football franchise, but rather market preferences that did not make the game as profitable as its football counterpart. The final NCAA March Madness title sold a little over 150,000 copies; compared to the 1.5 million copies sold by NCAA Football 14, it was clear to EA Sports that a college basketball game was not a prudent business venture.

I wonder if the dynasty mode will include NIL/transfer gameplay. Would be like franchise mode in NBA 2K managing your salary cap, all while building pipelines and recruiting HS kids like the old NCAA football games.

They still cant get the body action quite right. The game makers have to realize that the human body moves quicker and smoother than what they are showing in this preview. It looks nice though!

Stadium is full and Illinois beating Ohio State?! So much for realism.
Hey, to be fair, that side is full even when we have crappy crowds! :ROFLMAO:

P.S. Insiders, please get the DIA to stop using this photo so often, haha. I think it is from when we upset Wisconsin in 2019, and we had a fairly pathetic 37,000 for that game. We have drawn over 50k multiple times in the past two years, and it is an utter failure if we have not captured a better panoramic photo in that timeframe!!
