Bill Belichick and Deion Sanders will be, without a doubt, two of the biggest sensations in the college football scene next season.
Sanders has been the biggest rockstar in the coaching scene since his days at Jackson State, and now that arguably the greatest coach in football history will coach UNC, the Tar Heels will be a regular talking point as well.
However, those fans who hoped to watch them in EA Sports' College Football 26 have another thing coming.
Apparently, Sanders and Belichick joined a handful of big-name coaches who decided not to be a part of the highly anticipated video game.
Belichick and Sanders will join the likes of Mark Carney (Kent State), Mario Cristobal (Miami), Trent Dilfer (UAB), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa), Jason Eck (New Mexico), Tyson Helton (Western Kentucky), Charles Kelly (Jacksonville State), Bronco Mendehall (Utah State), Bryant Vincent (ULM), and Frank Reich (Stanford) among the coaches who opted not to participate.
EA Sports or any of the above-mentioned coaches have talked about their reasons why they didn't approve their likeness to be in the video game, which will be released worldwide on July 10.
Even so, given their popularity, that won't stop UNC and Colorado fans from buying the game and trying to prove that they can do better than two NFL legends.
All eyes will be set on Belichick as he embarks on this new endeavor, while some speculate that this might be Sanders's last year in college before following his son to the NFL.
Whatever the case, the fans will have to settle for watching them once a week on actual games, and not every time they want to at home.
