We have some absolutely Earth shattering news from the world of video gaming.

The website StickSkills.com, which appears legit to this first-time StickSkills.com visitor, is reporting nine teams are currently set to be left off the new EA Sports college football video game and one of them is your University of Kentucky Wildcats.

The story says the new EA Sports College Football came to a multi-year agreement with the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) to use the logos, stadiums, uniforms and traditions of almost every team in college football. There are nine, however, that are not among the CLC’s institutions and Kentucky is one of them.

The other eight are Air Force, Army, Georgia State, Navy, New Mexico, Notre Dame, Troy and USC.
