I never thought this day would come true but it seems like it has finally happened. I could be a college athlete on scholarship.

Robert Morris University out of Chicago has America's first ever college scholarship team for video games!

My calling has come... I play maybe for an hour every night so by no means am I as good as what these kids are but there is a chance!

According to the coach in the video who recruited these student (athletes), "some of our top players are rated in the .02 percent of all players in North America."

Now it doesn't state which game these kids are being recruited for but if it's Madden 15 -- I could be in the running.
