Let me explain something - it is not a scam. If you don't like it, maybe you shouldn't be on this thread. They are not forcing you to apply or attend, nor are they saying that ''anyone can get in!'' simply by playing League. There are maybe 30ish people in the program, and man do their competing teams have serious skill. If it was a scam, they could be making room for PLENTY more in order to make money, and they wouldn't be putting as much time and effort as they do into the coaching. They didn't have to make an eSports room, and they didn't have to hire staff purely for this. Also, the tuition isn't that high with financial aid/scholarship(s). RMU is a non-for-profit school, which I guess just blows over people's heads. It's a starting point for universities, as well as esports as a whole. I've gotten a deeper look into the program, and it isn't perfect by any means. Though it's a step, and it's a good one. Of course the program won't run perfect or really smoothly for anyone, but that's because they're the first to do it so of course they'll get the brunt of angry people and accusers, while having to work out the kinks. They did this AMA to answer questions about people being serious, with honest interest or questions. Not to answer the same "why do you accept low elo players" worded differently, 15 times. But hey, one can only assume. I doubt they intended to ''open a can of worms'' to people who think they know what they're talking about by bashing on something that's giving equal opportunity to people around the world for doing something they're passionate about. RMU has been 1000000000x more helpful during the enrollment process & even while attending, than when my fiance almost went to a community college who left us to drown and assume our way through getting enrolled. RMU's staff also has a drive to helping these kids get somewhere, and honestly, I don't see that all too much in schools anymore.
