{"content":[{"text":"THE BENEFITS \n Esports has great potential to be a powerful recruitment tool. \n Being able to tell potential students that are passionate \n about gaming that esports is real and growing – and that \n students can receive scholarships to play - has been very \n beneficial. Because esports is on the rise globally, and \n programs have relatively low operating costs, recruiting \n new students to your university that might not be coming \n otherwise is now an option. Overall, the skills and learning \n opportunities for those student athletes are invaluable. In \n the end, higher education is aimed at doing what is best \n for the students, and having an esports team is an addition \n that experience.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.041524,"width":0.41794100000000006,"height":0.24239500000000003}},{"text":"THE FUTURE \n The collegiate esports scene is growing at a dramatic rate, \n but is still in the infancy of having true college competition \n that is governed by a larger organization. In the next few \n years, as UJ’s program becomes more established, people \n will see the incredible opportunity, making recruitment for \n the esports team easier. “Hopefully we get to a point where \n students are coming to UJ to be on the team, but also \n students want to come to UJ to be a supporter of our team, \n even if they don’t necessarily play for us,” Knutson says.","bbox":{"left":0.518382,"top":0.250918,"width":0.41920499999999994,"height":0.18784900000000004}},{"text":"The students drawn to esports tend to choose majors that \n require logic and mathematical skills.
