Utah first Power 5 program to offer varsity eSports

Utah is adding another varsity sport to campus with esports. Yep, that means you can get a scholarship to play video games at The U now. All joking and mocking aside, and I know it’s out there, this is awesome. Esports are a big thing in the world, and up until a couple of years ago, have been much more niche and really under reported on. The first time it was likely exposed to the masses was when ESPN broadcast a “Heroes of the Storm” tournament called “Legends of the Dorm,” which matched schools against each other for prizes.
