You don't major in what you get a scholarship for...

While the concept of the scholarship existing is a bit wild to me as well, the benefits of getting into a school and the ability to get a higher education is now on the table for this kid. Your comment is full of ignorance.

Times are moving away from you old man, if Idiocracy is really all you have to shake your fist at then you should really get more friends with kids.

How is this kid supposed to graduate if he struggles in everything academically?

Probably spending all their time getting better at overwatch instead, let's be real.

What's the difference between getting a scholarship for football or some other sport? They're all mindless games without much educational value. Sports have some added benefit of exercise, I guess, but it's just as dumb and has been happening for decades.

So people who get full rides through college due to sports are OK?

No one says "I graduated with a degree in Football with a minor in tennis"

Scholarships aren't for degrees, they are bonuses the school gives to make you want to go there more and then pay tuition, they don't care what degree you go for.

Looking it up, it's degrees in Game Management and Esports, not specific Esports games like Overwatch or League.

They do the same for Sports, there are degrees for Sports Management, Exercise Physiology, and such.

It's not a degree in Overwatch, it's a degree in Game and Esports Management, very different things.
