boyst Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 https://www.toledoblade.com/Education/2017/01/31/Video-gaming-to-be-offered-as-varsity-sport-at-Lourdes-University.html Lourdes University is on the hunt for student athletes who are quick thinkers, team players, and mentally tough. The private liberal arts university in Sylvania is joining a growing trend of adding competitive video gaming — or eSports — to its athletic offerings, and recruiters need about 30 men and women to strap on headsets and join the sport’s inaugural season in the fall. Word to the wise: If you are ever trouble there or get caught running through the private campus, just say you're Southview Hockey
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Good. Great. Get in where you fit in, gamers. Hell..you'll probably net the university more coin than will the soccer, hockey, and lacrosse teams combined!
Chilly Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Once upon a time I ran the biggest Team Fortress Classic league and was on a top team. I even joined up with a broadcasting group. I was about 10 years early from making some serious $$$ on e-sports
KD in CA Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 Is it too late to go back to college? I once got 76,000 in Atari Space Invaders.

Astroturf high school stadium @ my former HS. !@#$ southview
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 This sounds great as long as the "University" doesn't refer to the scholarship students as "student athletes." They sit and stare at a computer screen. Call it like it is...
