If you think competitive video gaming doesn't belong within the world of collegiate athletics, it just might be time for you to reconsider the way you define sports — or risk more than just failing to keep up with the times. In fact, varsity esports programs have already become established at more than 100 colleges and universities — a number that's experienced rapid and steady growth. Although some colleges and universities choose to establish esports as a club housed in student activities, other programs come under the purview of college athletics directors. And colleges and universities continue to invest an increasing amount in esports, including scholarships and aid, recruiting, coaches, tournaments, and stadium development.
