Why EA Sports College Football games are back?

EA Sports was forced to discontinue college football video games due to the Keller vs. Electronic Arts Inc. (2013) case leading to the court's ruling that players' likenesses could not be used in the games if the athletes were not being compensated. The courts ruled that doing this violated the rights of all the players used in the games.

The NCAA v. Alston case, however, led to the Supreme Court ruling in favor of player compensation. Therefore now, players can be paid for their name, image and likeness. As a result, the games can be continued.
