Starting this fall, Utah will start giving partial scholarships to student-e-athletes to compete in League of Legends.

I had to check if the article was published on April 1.

I'm not opposed to Stanford joining novel forms of competition, but it seems odd to connect this to athletics. Maybe there should be a dept to prepare students for other forms of non-athletic competition like math olympiads, building solar cars, chess, and video games.
