Eager to jump on the esports train? It’s a real growth industry, and it’s moving fast, with major opportunities for job-seekers. Each week, Cynopsis is highlighting one category of esports employers.  
 
This week: Colleges. There are currently dozens of schools that offer some sort of scholarship for esports athletes, and that number is expected to grow exponentially. With that growth, universities will aggressively look for staff members that have experience in the collegiate athletics field. If you have some experience in college athletics, the collegiate esports route is one way to break into the business.
