Illinois college offering scholarships to League of Legends players
Mike Suszek:
Robert Morris University in Chicago put out a call recruiting League of Legends players to its first varsity eSports team earlier this month. According to Riot Games, RMU will become the first university to offer a competitive team at the varsity level, and will offer scholarships to players “of up to 50 percent tuition and 50 percent room and board.”
