Kent joining Esports craze - ilovegymnast - 02-15-2018 04:42 PM

Interesting note from the article..
All campuses will be involved and be part of the team. That will make it harder for Akron and Miami to comptete against Kent. It also mentioned keeping the club level teams for recruiting. Clearly not everyone is a gamer but opening it up to the 40,000 students and only 10% are gamers tbat would be 4000 vs 2500 at Akron. I wonder if they will make it part of the wagon wheel challenge to replace baseball.

NCAA sports prevents droping-out. This will not.
