10 NCAA Rosters Stacked with CFB Legends Join Madden NFL 2022 (For Now)

Electronic Arts is giving Madden players a chance to relive the glory days of some college football greats who have gone pro in a new limited-time event.

“Throughout the football season, we deliver new content and enhancements to our Madden players and we’re really excited to bring the fanfare of college football to the millions of players already enjoying Madden NFL 22 to one of our most accessible ways to play in Superstar KO,” said Seann Graddy, Executive Producer on Madden NFL.

Campus Legends launched in the Superstar KO multiplayer mode featuring teams from Clemson University, University of Miami, Louisiana State University, University of Florida, University of Oklahoma, University of Texas, University of Southern California, University of Oregon, University of Nebraska and Michigan State University. The event will end September 27.

Players like Vince Young and Reggie Bush, both former cover athletes, will go head to head at Rose Bowl Stadium in a Madden NFL 22 celebratory matchup tonight at 6 p.m. on the NFL Youtube Channel and the Madden NFL Twitch Channel.

“I’ve been a Madden fan for as long as I can remember, so it’s going to be truly special to hit the sticks and see myself in my college uniform for the first time in the game,” Vince Young said. “I can’t wait to take on Reggie [Bush] again in our old colors. I’ve got some serious Madden skills – looking forward to bringing home another win for the Longhorns.”

Campus Legends is the first time college football has been included since NCAA Football 2014. The series was discontinued after the NCAA chose to not renew its contract with EA Sports over NIL (names, images, likeness) compensation issues. The NCAA rules related to NIL changed earlier this year.

EA Sports announced in February the NCAA football franchise would be returning, but the official EA Sports College Football account has been mum since aside from a word that the company “look[s] forward to sharing more information as development progresses in the next couple of years.”
