I have so many questions.  Here are a few.

When is the esports season: efall or espring?

How will it be determined who the home eteam is for each ematch?

Is it true that each esport will have weight classes just like wrestling?

Will there be ereferees for all ematches?

Will the eplayers jerseys have numbers (will fractions be allowed)?

Does UofA plan to allow beer sales at the egames?

Will there be a time limit on each ematch or could an ematch go on and on for eons?

Has Akron announced a head ecoach yet?

Is there a limit on how many assistant ecoaches/etrainers/emanagers/eetc. each eteam can have?

Not sure why your link doesn't work for me but mine does(?)

 

This is a big enough deal that the president of Sweater U. is serving as chairman of the esports collegiate BOD.

A few additional questions, and a suggestion, have occurred to me.

Will there be divisions in esports just like in real sports?

Are there going to be esport scholarship limits?

Will the school be required to provide ejocks with insurance policies to cover esport injuries like carpal tunnel?

 

And I'm probably missing out on an a life-changing opportunity by not doing this myself, but somebody in Akron should establish the eSport Hall of Fame so Akron can keep up with Cleveland and Canton and their Halls of Fame (The eHall of Fame).

I know this thread is very entertaining for some of our more mature members of Zipsnation. With that said, our friends 16 year old son has already won over $250k playing Fortnite. That is in addition to the $3k salary per month that he is making playing the game.?

 

I just hope he is kneeling before every match to demonstrate his support for BLM.
