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?

MAC schools are forming the Esports Collegiate Conference. https://getsomemaction.com/news/2020/6/9/general-mac-membersip-unveils-esports-venture.aspx

Who can really blame the kid (Oakland was the first D1 school in Michigan to add esports as a varsity sport)? Additionally, the Oakland baseball team won 11 of their 48 games in their most recent full season and finished two games ahead of Youngstown State who finished last in the Horizon League only 13.5 games out of first.

P5 schools selling the belief that G5 are not going to make it. Here is a quote from Brecksville QB Joe Labas today when he flipped from Ball State to Iowa: “We don’t really know if these MAC schools will be lasting after the second wave of Coronavirus, we don’t really know what’s going to happen. We know that the power five schools can take the burden.” https://247sports.com/college/iowa/Article/Iowa-Hawkeyes-Football-Recruiting-Joey-Labas-Commitment-Ken-OKeefe-Kirk-Ferentz--147917090/Amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I received my ticket renewal notice today. A brief ray of sunshine in an increasingly gloomy world. And, for yet another season, I will say $60 for a full season GA ticket is the best deal in town.

It's a Dixie cup.

And that's exactly why tuition has been raising so rapidly. Schools aren't competing with one another to offer the highest level education at the lowest cost possible. They're competing with one another to build the tallest rock climbing wall, coolest lazy river, most extravagant dorm apartments, etc. then pass that cost along to the students. Schools are doing this because not so street smart 18 year old kids are willing to borrow thousands of extra dollars per year for these things and thanks to the government they have access to near limitless capital. Of course these same kids after graduating then complain once they have to start repaying those loans. That's a whole other discussion.
