Tennessee fans now have more reasons to play with Vols in College Football 26 game

Tennessee football fans had the opportunity to explore Neyland Stadium from the players' point of view last year when College Football 25 was released. 

It was the first college football game since NCAA Football 14 was last released in the Summer of 2013. Since then, Tennessee fans have been unable to play in an updated Neyland Stadium with Tennessee's new Nike jerseys. 

That has changed as EA Sports looks to continue making college football games and has brought new experiences to their second edition of the new version of their college football game with College Football 26. 

In this year's game, EA Sports has announced that it will determine how much to pay each school based on how often they are used in gameplay. Whether it be play now, dynasty, or road to glory, fans now have the opportunity to control how much or how little a school can earn from the College Football game franchise.

This adds a new twist to the game as fans prepare for this year's release on July 7. It also gives Tennessee fans another reason to stick with the Vols in EA Sports' various game modes. 

It will also serve as another opportunity for SEC and Big Ten schools to separate themselves from the rest of the College Football field. I would expect the two power conferences to dominate the list of top schools played, but fans' interest in building small programs could change that. 

Some X users have taken to social media to start a campaign to play with smaller football programs to build them up and boost their payout for the game with the idea that it would help their real-life program.

It would be fun to see that layout if fans of the game can make it happen, but it's unlikely enough people will play with Kent State long enough to boost their payout over Ohio State, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia, and other top programs and more popular programs across the country.
