Marketplace Roundup

ON3.com’s Pete Nakos noted the National College Football Awards Association has “declined an offer” to be in EA Sports College Football 25. NCFAA President Mark Wolpert said, “The offer that has been made is not adequate for the rights fee for the awards.” Nakos noted fans who buy the game and play Road to Glory or Dynasty modes will "not have the chance to win real trophies that college football players are annually awarded.” The list of awards includes the Bednarik, Biletnikoff, Davey O’Brien, Doak Walker, Grozo, Jim Thorpe, Maxwell, Outland and Ray Guy (ON3.com, 3/8).

ONE OF A KIND: In Philadelphia, Gabriela Carroll noted a specialty can of Campbell’s Chunky Chicken Noodle soup will feature former NFLer Jason Kelce’s "beard and eyebrows and his autograph on a green label." The cans are "limited edition, so fans can enter to win one of 620, in honor of Kelce’s number.” Campbell’s is also donating $62,000 to Kelce’s (Be)Philly foundation in his honor (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 3/8).
