Can we all in collegiate esports agree that we MUST support
@MaryvilleGG
as they compete in LCS Challengers? All boats rise with the tide! Good luck Maryville! For collegiate esports!
If anyone is interested in learning about how I market esports for endemic and non-endemic sponsors, please let me know. We have worked with companies like Coca-Cola, Amazon, and more to secure funding for player scholarships by selling team naming rights.
I don't think other collegiate esports directors know how wildly different D1 schools are when it comes to sports, esports, recruitment, and funding. The D1 conference for NACE was initiated due to a desired structure that is in place for traditional athletics. Nothing more.
USM Esports is hiring GAs for Fall 2024! Two positions are available! Full tuition coverage + $1,300/mo. Our program is looking for experienced esports professionals to grow the program and get an education. DM for ?'s.

This just further supports collegiate esports sustainability. My players on scholarship get more each month than a pro! Not to mention they get to attend a D1 R1 university and pursue a degree with transferable skills in the job market. Collegiate = stability for players.

I cannot express enough how proud I am of these players, their growth, and dedication to the game. GGs to New Mexico and I cannot wait to get started on planning and practicing for the Fall season!
How many USM fans would watch iRacing at Southern Miss? I hear NASCAR is using this simulation to hire drivers.
@SouthernMissNow
@USMesports
if we get enough hype, we will consider signing a driver for esports.
Night fell and the battles were immaculate. If heat 1 was not wild enough, heat 2 goes to Clemson and Kyle Bonin and it came down to the last 200 meters! Can't wait to return to VIR!
