Texas Longhorns young star quarterback Arch Manning was reportedly paid a lot of money to promote and appear in the EA Sports College Football 25 video game, and it sounds like one USC Trojans star player is not necessarily happy about it.
After it was previously reported that Arch Manning would not opt in and allow the game to use his name, image, and likeness, it seems that he changed his mind last week as he announced that he would indeed be included in the game.
Shortly after Manning’s announcement, Pete Nakos of On3 reported that Manning had received between $50,000 and $60,000 to promote the game and for his name, image, and likeness. And USC Trojans star DeCarlos Nicholson was apparently not all that happy about it.
In a post on social media, Nicholson expressed his displeasure that Manning was receiving such a hefty compensation package compared to what other players throughout the country were getting.

“Wow I could’ve kept my thoughts to myself. Still ready to play &thankful for my $600 tho,” Nicholson said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Clearly, Nicholson was not pleased with the special treatment that Manning received from EA Sports.
