A pair of notable college football coaches are sitting out for Electronic Arts’ ‘EA College Football 26.’ The NCAA franchise returned last year after a 10-year hiatus, and another iteration has since been released for buyers of its Deluxe Edition.

It’s the equivalent of Christmas morning for college football video game fans. EA Sports College Football 26 release week is officially here, as the second highly-anticipated installment of the video game franchise is available to play as of Monday following its historic return last summer.

It's already been noted that two of college football 's biggest head coaches do not appear in the game. Neither Colorado's Deion Sanders nor North Carolina's Bill Belichick is a part of College Football 26. Instead, they have been replaced with fake characters.
